I don't know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass, how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields, which is what I've been doing all day.

It has been such an amazing 10 months of deep learning, and I am thrilled to announce that I am now a fully certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner!!!
There are so many directions that this path can go, and I am remaining consciously dedicated to being open to wherever that may lead. At the end of the day, I want to be a part of my communities journey towards deeper connection to what truly nourishes us - through food, the land, and each other. I want to help others sort through the many layers of misinformation we are bombarded with in regards to food so they can reawaken their own intrinsic health sovereignty. And, I want to continue to spread the love of real food as far and wide as I can.
With that said, stay tuned for all of the wonderful things in store.

When it's my time, I want my last meal to be this. A perfect bowl of Ramen. Because of the perfect mix of flavors and textures, sure. But also because of the time, and presence, and love it takes to make it well. Time, presence, and love, in my humble opinion, are the unsung heros of ingredients.

Hello Friends!
While I'm nearing the end of this learning journey, I thought it would be fun to take myself (and you) through the process of what I will be doing with clients soon.
So, I'll be doing a post series of what it's like to work with an NTP, and keep posted on the progress along the way!
First up, you might be wondering what the heck even is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner?! Well, I hope this clears that up a bit!
Next, we'll get a little personal and I'll show you some behind the scenes charts and graphs...I know, exciting stuff!!

Friends!!!
I am in search of one final practice client for the last hurrah on my Nutritional Therapy journey. Time flies!
If any of this resonates with you, and you'd like to take this walk with me towards better health, please reach out and we can see if it's a good fit.
This path of learning has been amazing, intense, and thick with information. I've learned so much, and there is still so much to learn! I am so darn excited to see what comes of it all. My deepest hope is to help people reawaken their intrinsic connection to food and themselves!
Eat Well. Be well.

Big thanks to Ma Nature for the tasty treats, and for providing me with a non judgemental place to crawl around the forest like a crazy person 😊

Mushrooms for breakfast 😋
There's something about a mostly foraged/homegrown meal that just hits differently. I tend to eat slower, with more presence and gratitude. Which, turns out, is a highly beneficial state to be in for properly functioning digestion!
It's all connected!

Foraged -Porcini, Sierra Wild Onion
Homegrown - tomato, spinach, kale
Bought- eggs, venison sausage

Ok sure, it's possible that I went a little overboard with the pickle making. But, they do make great gifts!

In a short 3-6 days, I'll be snacking hard on these Lacto-Fermented Pickles 🤤

🔸️Lacto-Fermentation (a salt water brine vs vinegar based pickling), one of the oldest food preservation methods, is perhaps the most delicious way to show your gut some love!

The nostalgia is just as thick and delightful as this Goat Milk Ricotta I just made. Took me right back to the days of milking the goats as a kid...I just love how food and cooking can do that!

Hello Dear Ones!

There’s some exciting stuff going on in my world, and I thought it would be nice to put it out there, share my story, and maybe take you along for the ride!  I recently started on a new path in learning, to become a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. After 10 fulfilling years of cooking, I have been feeling called to deepen my knowledge, and my ability to help others (and, turns out, myself) along a path towards well-being. 

This calling stems from many things – from cooking for clients who were battling their own different struggles with food and health, from the conversations had over the counter about what wellness means and feels like, and from a deep curiosity that I have gained over the years about the connectedness of it all.  But, I think mostly it stems from my own journey through grief and trauma, and seeing clearly now what a massive toll it takes on the human body and mind. 

So, my intuition has led me towards a path to heal myself, and to walk with others on a path to do the same for themselves, and I think that is really quite special.

I am not certain exactly what things will look like on the other side of this learning.  I do know that -
🔸️I want to support others in their wellness goals and concerns, especially those who have experienced the negative effects of grief, trauma, and stress. 
🔸️I want to help facilitate reawakening our intrinsic connection to our food, and our land, and ourselves. 
🔸️I want more deep conversations about all the things.  It’s not just about food, it’s about connection, because not one thing exists independently from any of the others.  And as humans, neither do we!

I’m hoping that this platform can be a place of connection, community, support and learning.  Still food posts (of course!), but with a new twist. 

Thanks for joining me on this path!
I'm so excited for whatever lies ahead.
❤️

Guys, I'm feeling a little emotional about this sourdough bread...
I know it's just bread, but...the crust is all crusty, and the bread is all... bready. And, it's Gluten Free!
It's like... everything and nothing makes sense right now...
For all you GF-ers, I highly recommend checking out Cannelle et Vanille by Aran Goyoaga. I don't use recipes much, but this one's a keeper.

My beloved family -
It is approaching the 10 year anniversary of the start of Nourish, and this beautifully fulfilling path, of service through feeding people, that I have found myself on. 10. Whole. Years!

I can hardly find the words. I sit here in such deep gratitude and nostalgia for every single piece of it, with tears of overflowing appreciation, for the opportunity to connect with so many outstanding people in such a real way. I didn't know what it would become when I started, and I certainly didn't see myself here, 10 years later, in total awe of it all.

If you have ever had the food I've prepared, or have shown support in any form, please know how incredibly grateful I am for you! It truly is everything to me.

With that being said, 2 things -
First, Nourish could use a spa day! I'm looking for someone to give my website and logo a little loving spruce up, with some SEO stuff as well. I'd gladly welcome your best recommendations in that regard!

And, for the fun part - My hope is to have a lovely gathering to show my gratitude to all of my people, and celebrate all the things! Looking for ideally an indoor/outdoor small venue that has kitchen facilities, sometime in May, in the North Tahoe area. Any suggestions would be so welcomed!

Thank you all, for the decade of support!!! I love you all, so darn much!
❤️❤️❤️
