My Philosophy on Food
With so many supposed “healthy” ways to eat – organic, raw, gluten free, vegan – no wonder it’s confusing!  My focus takes the fear out of eating and puts it on foods good for both body and soul, developing a conscious awareness to be in balance with our well-being on all levels.

How food is made and where it comes from is essential to a healthy and balanced body and soul. Food is not merely fuel for the body or selected on taste and presentation alone, but is prepared with a deeper sense of being in tune with nature and our own true essence.  In the pantry are plenty of seasonal and garden grown fruits and vegetables, artisan grains, nuts and legumes, farm fresh dairy and meats, wild and local fish, along with herbs, spices and natural ingredients. At the forefront of feeding our bodies and souls,  are sustainable practices and compassion for the food the planet supplies.

The more we eat delicious and flavorful foods good for our bodies, minds and spirit and good for the earth, the more we feel satisfied, healthy and balanced from the inside out.
