My business has survived since 2016. I have pivoted to survive continuously. I am a humanitarian. I believe that most people are good. I am here because of your support. I am still standing strong.

Local Mama Catering is here to stay. Presidents come & go. Conflicts wage on in this world. But my heart is in the right place. My love for humanity is in all that I do. I believe in helping each other.

I saw this artwork years ago…& I created this meme.

It is a rebellious act to help each other survive.

This is my unifying message. I am holding the whole world in my heart. May we see the light in these dark times. May we stand united. May we continue to help each other survive.

Love, Local Mama xo

I had so much fun making Slow Cooked Pulled Beef BBQ, Pumpkin Lasagna with Caramelized Onions, Spinach and Chicken, and this Italian Wedding Soup. All gluten free and safe for my clients.

You know it’s a winner when their daughter has two helpings after school. Even when there is Halloween candy to nibble on. High Five!

Contact me soon for Cooking classes-gift certificates make great Christmas presents, too! We would love to create customized experiences for you and your loved ones.

From the very beginning when I made her baby food. I introduced recipes like Black Bean and Rice nuggets, the components of sushi: avocado, cucumber, rice & seaweed…Eden has been helping me test recipes. Now we are trying to decide what to serve at her wedding. After always having strong convictions in knowing exactly what we want, we cannot narrow down our favorites.

Lambic Framboise Short Rib Beef Stew?
White Wine & Herb Gravy with Roasted Chicken?
Autumn Pork with Apples, Cabbage, & Caramelized Onions in a Hard Cider & Sage Gravy?

We love it all!

I love it when our clients ask me to cook with beer for their Oktoberfest Beer Crawl!!

Today we helped them indulge in Saffron Beer Queso, Grilled Bratwurst in Caramelized Onion Beer Gravy, Grass Fed Beef Sliders, our Signature Pineapple Turkey Chili, Grilled Cheese served with Creamy Tomato Soup with a little Sherry, and these…so decadent…so naughty…our Candied Bacon dipped in Bourbon Dark Chocolate ganache. We loved cooking in their beautiful kitchen. We had the buffet waiting for them when they returned.

I love a challenge. My meal prep clients keep me on my toes. As much as I love tried and true classics, today I had the opportunity to make Flatbreads, Roasted Garlic Hummus with Lemon Zest, Taboulleh Salad, and Lamb Kofta on skewers. I am always excited to hear of their special requests.

I am going to put a positive spin on the current economic climate.

We are living in a time when local, small businesses need your support now more than ever before. I am currently writing a book about the joys of running my own small business. It is a constant challenge. As I have pivoted to support my family, I continue to pray that we survive. My friends in the industry know me as a woman who has always supported a living wage, safety & respect in the workplace, and continued growth & improvement. Every waking day is an opportunity to face challenges.

I am incredibly grateful for all who have chosen to support us. Help us grow! And share the good word. I love humans with integrity and compassion. For all of the reasons that you continue to invest in my company, I hope and pray that you will help us continue. Help us continue to do what we love. To bring joy to you and your loved ones through the love of exceptional food and service.

Please continue to recommend us to your favorite people. Life is precious! Celebrate everything. Xo

Private chef work is an absolute joy!

As we continue to set ourselves up for success, I am building my repertoire as a private chef. The duality of the grieving process of letting go of what once was and carving our path for the future of my company.

I just assembled our new countertop speed rack. This will allow us to stay organized in our clients homes. I am setting my van up to be a mobile private chef outfit.

We have been enjoying the new transition to private chef work which includes: meal prep, private dinners, cooking classes and intimate gatherings. We have a few openings in November and we are beginning to book for the holidays, as well.

I look forward to hearing from you. Xo

I have been asked to join the Out of Darkness walk on Sunday, Oct 6th at the Allentown Parkway. This will be my first time attending. I have agreed to be there as a survivor of multiple su***de attempts. I have been very public about my mental health. It is a miracle that I have survived with this brain that I was born with.

I told my parents that I wanted to die when I was seven years old. I survived an attempt in high school when I attempted to electrocute myself in the bath tub. I consider my last and final attempt in 2010, I climbed into a quarry so I could fall to my death.

The last time that I was severely suicidal was 2021, when we were trying to find a new kitchen. My dear husband said, “if you do it, please do not make a mess.” I burst out laughing. He always has a way of making the darkest situations twisted and comical.

Here I am 3 years later, transitioning to yet another business model. Moving to another kitchen. My anger at the system for prioritizing war as a means for resource extraction, financial gain, and political bs at the expense of human life is very real. My business model is for peaceful and prosperous times when humans value life and each other. I thrive on joy, compassion and generosity.

I want you to know that I am grateful to be alive. I love my life. I am excited for my future. I have carved out another path for myself that will allow my business and my family to thrive. Onward!

Success is the only option. I am a survivor in more ways than you know. I am grateful for everyone that eases this existence. Xo

My cojones are in front of me. I open doors with them.

I take no ish from anyone. Except my cat. He is a cranky, 16 year old man that rules my life.

For everyone out there that has supported us over the past 9+ years, I thank you. I am grateful for all of you.

We will be moving into our other kitchen this week. As we pivot once again to survive, help us move forward. Hire us! Text me directly for cooking classes, private dinners, intimate celebrations. 267-280-3699

And to be honest, we are still booking intimate weddings but we will work through because she is amazing. And she knows that I am passionate about what we do. So yes. In partnership with Jenny, we would love to help you.

I cannot amputate my soul. My soul and my heart belong in this industry. My work as a humanitarian is just another part of me. My need to sing and write and dance are seeds that grow in my garden.

I’ve got nothing but love. Maybe a little bite, here and there. But grit got me here.

This stuff helps prevent a myriad of ailments: COVID, cancer, viruses…. I have been taking BLACK SEED OIL practically every day for the past four years. There are many brands but the most effective type: 5X-TQ. Thymoquinone.

Some tell me that it can repeat on them. But for me, it is so effective that it is worth any slight discomfort.

“Black seed oil, also known as black cumin seed oil, has historical ties to ancient Egypt and the Pharaohs, including Tutankhamun. It was found in Tutankhamun’s tomb, indicating its revered status and medicinal significance. Believed to bestow protection and vitality, black seed oil holds a cherished place in ancient Egyptian culture as a valuable natural remedy. Rich in Nutrients: Black Seed Oil boasts a wealth of antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and vitamins, nourishing your body from the inside out. Natural Anti-inflammatory: Soothe discomfort and promote healing with the oil’s powerful anti-inflammatory properties.
Skin Savior: Black seed oil contains thymoquinone which promotes tissue growth and promotes wound healing and treats burns. It unclogs pores and controls oil and sebum production, it also evens out skin tone and reduces discoloration because of the high content of retinol.

Highly recommend.

As if this week wasn’t exciting enough, we are proud to announce that our daughter, Eden, is engaged to Owen. Knowing that our daughter is happy is the greatest gift. She has been blossoming from the start. Continuing to grow on her own terms, sharing her many gifts. They have our blessing.

They are planning a May wedding on the family farm, A beautiful wedding venue in Berks County. And yes, I will be doing the cooking but not the serving. With the help of our clan, of course.

Join us as we welcome, Owen, to our family. We know they will do right by each other and hold each other close. This is a joyous time for us!
