Good for you Kitchen

“Well hello - where have you been?!” (I can hear you asking 😉)

The short answer: learning, growing, and transforming. The longer answer? Well, as I welcome my 49th trip around the sun today (hello fellow Capricorns!), I thought it was the perfect time to share that I’ve completed my studies and am now a Certified Nutritional Practitioner! 📚

After over 15 years in the corporate world, burnout hit hard. Like many, I thought I just needed to eat better, sleep more, or maybe I just needed a vacation - but my health struggles led me to a deeper truth: it’s about truly knowing yourself, discovering what lights you up, and creating space in our lives to thrive, not just survive.

I’m grateful for these experiences - they led me to dig deeper and yes, change careers at this stage of life! 🥳 Going back to school in my 40s to become a Certified Nutritional Practitioner wasn’t easy (and trust me, I questioned myself plenty of times), but this journey has ignited a passion I can’t ignore.

As I begin this new chapter, I’m bursting with excitement and inspiration! I feel like I’m exactly where I’m meant to be, doing work that truly ✨lights me up!✨I have so much planned for this upcoming year - from practical wellness tips to delicious recipes to meaningful ways we can work together towards your health goals. 🎉

And since the kitchen is still my happy place, you can expect plenty of nourishing wisdom and behind-the-scenes snippets too. Helping you build confidence and ease in the kitchen and joy on your plate is a priority for me!

Tell me – have you ever made a big change in your life? What sparked it? I’d love to hear about it in the comments. And if you’re thinking about making a change this year, let’s do it together!

I’m here to support and encourage you every step of the way! 💚

When making efforts to increase fruits and veggies into a family’s diet, cost often comes up as a perceived barrier.

I truly believe with the right tools, systems and information, eating less processed foods and more whole foods can cost the same —- and—- if you plan right it could actually save you money!

Here are a few tips to get you started - and if you’re looking for support in this area, reach out as this is what I help families with every day!

⚡️NEWS FLASH! ⚡️

Eating healthy doesn’t require hours of chopping and cooking in the kitchen every day!!

Just having a few simple ingredients prepped and on hand can help you build beautiful meals like this salad in literally minutes.

⚡️Protein - batch cook some chicken or turkey burgers, or just make extra when cooking dinner to use the next day.

⚡️Veggies - wash and chop raw veggies and lettuce and store in the fridge. Roast some extra sweet potatoes, cauliflower or broccoli while you’re cooking something else.

⚡️Dressing/pesto - make a quick dressing to have in hand (so easy to make and way more delicious)

⚡️Fun toppings- have some staples like sauerkraut, nuts and seeds to add some fun to your meals. My favourite right now is h**p hearts as they can be added to almost anything and give you added protein and healthy fats!

With these basics on hand, when mealtimes rolls around you can build a yummy bowl in less than 5 minutes!

Make a ‘salad bar’ and let everyone choose what they like - a picky eaters dream!

What are your favourite meal prep tips?
