Custom requests welcomed! Registered, licensed and produced in an AHS certified kitchen My earliest memories in life are in the kitchen. I remember sitting under the breakfast nook as a little girl, watching my Grandmother cooking meals for the family, whipping up some baked goods, or preserving some produce from the garden, or all three at once! I would hide out of the way, watching her do the da

nce between the stove, fridge, counters and sinks and I remember thinking that it was the most beautiful thing I'd seen: that elegant, effortless movement between all of the things on the go, never forgetting a pan in the oven or the water running. So I've been experimenting with recipes my whole life, using my family as my (not unhappy) taste testers. I worked in food service for a number of years, soaking up as much knowledge as I could about the the running of food business, and studied and worked in business and marketing for the balance of my career. I picked up a side job as a teacher at the Loblaws PC Cooking school for a time, designing dishes using new products and teaching people all about the food and preparation processes that I am so passionate about. And I loved teaching, but I loved DOING more. I show my care to my people through providing nourishment and I take immense pleasure in providing nutritious, beautiful, flavorful food for others. I have been creating new combinations since I was tall enough to reach the counter. There's something so satisfying about mixing colors, textures, and different flavor profiles. I'm a firm champion for the balance between sweet and savory, and if you are pretty sure you don't like something, give me a crack at it. I've spent my life working to earn the trust of everyone that I've had the pleasure of feeding and have gained the confidence to be able to be pretty darn sure you'll like whatever I make. AND

I'm a sucker for a spread. I don't need a lot of food, but do I ever appreciate a good variety! I want a little bit of a lot, a taste of everything. I've pursued many creative and artistic outlets throughout my life. I was a serious scrapbooker, turned mixed media artist. I've tried my hand at painting and didn't stink. But when I created my first "Charcuterie Board" I knew I was in trouble. I was HOOKED!!

It would genuinely be my pleasure to create something unique and beautiful for you. Tell me your vision, and let's make it happen!!

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaack!!

(Hopefully, you noticed that I was gone 🤣)

So yeah... I disappeared for a while, and while it was not my intention to do so, it was absolutely crucial for my sanity and to keep my personal life intact while we navigated a series of significant life events, challenges and near misses with natural disasters.

I'll post more later to catch you up on the past couple of months but right now I wanted to formally step back into the ring to let you know that I'm here to field your inquiries, cater your parties and charcuterie my little heart out!

I'm currently booking orders for this weekend (last minute, I know!) but for this to work I'll need to know asap who wants what.

If you've been thinking about doing something fun with the family this weekend, I can put together an adorable and tasty picnic spread that you can simply unwrap and pop on the table!

If you're interested in having a custom charcuterie or picnic spread built for you for Friday, Saturday or Sunday (some delivery slots still open for all 3 days at the moment) please fill in the below inquiry form and I'll confirm price and availability for you as soon as I can.

Thank you all so much for having me back, and for your love and support while I was gone. I hope you know how much I missed feeding all of you.

These photos were shared with us by one of the lucky recipients of a mothers day brunch box!

We love when our food is photographed as art

Also, it's kind of amazing how much food you can stuff in a little box! The whole range of brunch items went in this one from the smoked salmon with bagel and schmear with toppings, to the mandatory Waffles, French toast and Pancakes, mini quiche and eggs Benny..

Among other things.

These small boxes sure pack a lot of value! In the last photo you can see everything that's packed into one box. It's kind of amazing how much goodness I can jam into a teeny space!

I imagine one of these tucked into a small cooler on a road trip, tied to a bike rack for a snack on a day trip or packed in a basket for a picnic.

Where would you take one of these boxes to treat yourself?!

It's a perfect snack for two..

Have you ever been heading out of town for a couple of days and wondered where you would be able to have a relaxing dinner when you arrive?

Then maybe consider doing like this customer did and preorder dinner to take with you!

I put this board and box together so that it was easy to keep cool and fresh on the drive and the crackers and crunchy bits would not go soggy.

After checking into their hotel out of town, my customer and her family just had to open the box and unwrap the platter

And voila, fancy schmancy dinner is served with zero effort!

Answers to some FAQ:

Hot items will be placed or wrapped separately to be easily reheated in oven or air fryer at the time of serving (waffles, egg bites etc)

available for pickup only on May 8

I cannot guarantee gluten or allergen free as I work from a shared kitchen and potential cross contamination is unavoidable. I can make a board/box/platter allergen "friendly" by deliberately not placing the allergen into the assortment. That said, It is up to the individual to decide if that is a level of risk they are comfortable with.

Please give me 12 hours to reply to your inquiries. I do my best to get back to you right away, but sometimes I get a bit behind. I'm a one woman show so my juggling game is on point, but I'm still only human!

Easter orders all under wraps now! Thank you all for allowing me to be a part of your holiday celebration 🙏

I didn't get a chance to take photos of all the boards before they went out the door and one of them I only remembered as it was literally leaving the kitchen so it was all wrapped up, but it was a busy day and I'm so grateful for everyone's support!

These adorable little boxes are off today to satisfy road-trip snack attacks. Can you guess which one is for the 5 year old?

Note: these snack boxes are friendly to the lactose intolerant tummy!

Better late than never, right?!

Easter mock ups are finally, almost, sort of, kinda done! I still have a couple of Easter themed offerings to come, a kid focused basket and all the sweet treats you'd expect to find if you spent hours hunting in the grass! Watch for those to be posted Tuesday.

Also, remember that these are just samples of what your board may look like.

Each board that I make is fully customizable and made especially for you according to your preferences, specifications and budget. No two are ever alike!

In order to be most efficient in quoting and designing your board, I'll ask you to complete a no commitment inquiry form (link below) as an alternative to sending messages with individual questions. I am hopeful that between my FAQ and the inquiry form, we will both have all the information we need to move to the next step, should it go that way.

Of course, if you have questions that aren't covered in the posted information, feel free to reach out. Please just bear in mind that I'm currently a one woman show, so turnaround time could be delayed.

Note the addition of the ADORABLE handmade Easter cookies by the super talented Homestyle Sweets.. (can you find all the cookies on the boards?!)

I just can't even with the freaking sweet little designs...from the absolutely flawless crown of flowers on the bunny to the textured icing/fur on the white bunny, I'm in awe of their talent.

You'll get a taste of their treats on each of my Easter boards, but you'll be back for more of their beautiful sweet treats after you've tried one! Be sure to click over to their page and give them some love too 🙏

How gorgeous is this wedge of cheese?

You should definitely try it with my signature pickled grapes...

I'm so grateful for the absolutely pristine quality of ingredients I can pick up at the
Italian Centre Shop Calgary to create my beautiful and delicious spreads!
