I have a rule about celery: if I’m serving it, I’m stringing it.

The tiny, pale yellow pieces in the center? Those go straight in my mouth with a little salt. That’s my snack. The bigger stalks are beautiful for flavoring a broth. But these middle stalks? Once you pull the tough strings, they’re tender and perfect for my clam chowder.

Here’s my little trick: I use a oyster tool to catch the strings and pull them all the way down. A knife tends to cut through them. And look at this pile—from three bundle of celery! I don’t want those strings in a beautiful spoonful of chowder.

Chopped, blended, or served whole: take a minute to string your celery. It’s one of those tiny chef moves that makes the finished dish feel next level.

My happy place is flour in the air, fresh pasta on the table, and practicing for Food Network some day! ✨🍝

Wake yourself up.

Remind yourself who you are.
Remind yourself what God placed inside you.
Then look yourself in the eye and say:

I’m one of those ones.
What I create is different.
What I carry is special.
And I was never called to blend in.

Every plate. Every detail. Every impossible idea brought to life—it all carries a piece of my purpose.

So on this Sunday morning, I’m not shrinking, second-guessing, or waiting for permission. I’m waking up the gift, trusting the calling, and walking boldly into everything God created me to do.

I’m one of those ones.
And if you needed the reminder today—so are you. ✨

People always ask me, “What do you eat in real life?”

So…..if I’m craving something really good, I just usually make it myself.

Because I already know exactly how i want it to tastes in my head—and expecting a restaurant to recreate a meal, I’ve imagined is completely unfair.
I like to dine out with zero expectations, then I always enjoy myself!

But let me tell you about my actual comfort meal…

After a long, hard catering weekend, nothing restores my soul quite like an IHOP breakfast sampler —with a side of biscuits and gravy!

I eat the whole thing, come home, and take nap then wake up ready for some self care maybe a massage

I truly live for Fine dining moments, but sometimes recovery looks like IHOP and a nap. Please, leave your funnest judgmental comments below or a pic of your guilty pleasure meal!!!
