To the world, I’m Sharell, Chef, Auntie, Sister, Friend. But to my Dad I’m “Lil One!” If you know me, you know I’m a true Daddy’s Girl! No, fr I’m spoiled! 🤣

To know him is to love him. I love how he takes the time to engage or learn about the things we’re into. He buys us book related to our career, lifestyle, and interests. He still pushes us to be the best versions of ourselves. How he loves on his grandchildren is priceless!
Unfortunately we had to delete his facebook account because it was hacked, but I would like to my Father, my Dad a Happy Father’s Day! We love you! We Appreciate you! 🥰

In October of 2023, I hit send on my resignation email that I had saved in drafts, cashed in my 401(k), and quit my job! I was officially a full time business owner and I was terrified out of my mind! But God said, put me first and I got you!

Business has been thriving with clients on a waiting list. 🙌🏾 And the beginning of this month, I receive an offer that I have been waiting on since I walked across that stage of USC Upstate (Go Spartans!) over 11 years ago! I am the official Food and Drink Editor of Hope Magazine!

With a global audience, a powerful presence, and star studded cover stories, this is a BIG MOMENT! More importantly, I get to work with a strong community of inspiring women who inspires women. Hope’s publisher was the first to ever take a chance on me. Soon after I’ve been landing cover stories for other publications( first pic shows all my first cover stories display on my wall) left and right! So, of course I had to “spin the block!” LOL! Thank you God for ordering my steps and believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself. Thank you for making room for my gift. You will forever and always be the #1 presence in my life! 🙌🏾 Thank you to my family and friends who motivated me, inspired me, and didn’t tell me I was crazy to quit my job! LOL! And special thanks to the Publisher of Hope Magazine, Angela Stone. When you first contacted me on LinkedIn 4 years ago,I thought it was a scam! 😂 Now, we’re “Linked In” for the long haul Lady!

just upgraded from Food Writer to Food Editor!

My mama is literally the single most important person in my life! I’ve been beside her in the kitchen cooking since I was 8 years old, mixing homemade caramel or gravy from scratch…until I start asking to many questions and she kick me out! “You doing to much! Go in the living room with your daddy!”😂😫

She taught me what no culinary school could EVER teach me…seasoning enhances not overpower. Let people taste the food and not the seasoning.

As Mother’s Day approaches, my Preppers got an exclusive taste of Peggy’s Kitchen! I cooked all of her favorite meals!

-Salmon Croquettes (Patties)/bacon/ white rice/garden salad

-Hamburger Steak/Mashed potatoes/lowcountry green beans

-BBQ chicken/Mac and Cheese/Collard Greens w Turkey Wings (Sorry Ma, I know we like pig tails in our greens, but my clients are Bougie, I don’t think they were ready for that! 😂)

Mother’s Day Brunch: Loaded Omelette, Grits, Biscuits

And so much more!

Just saying I love you feels mediocre. Thank you Momma for being my rock when I’m under water.

Don’t worry, our Healthy Preppers eat good too! I try to incorporate their special diets into our themes so they won’t feel left out! 🥰For example, my keto friendly preppers had Dirty Cauliflower Rice/Cajun Chicken for our NOLA theme. My high protein and/or low sodium clients had a Mediterranean Salmon bowl for our copycat Chipotle bowl.. just to name a few.

Oh and our Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie…🔥🔥 Ask around about it!

Our meals are always customized to fit the client, not the other way around.

Meal preps are full, but our family menu is always available.
