This first photo popped up on my feed as a memory from four years ago. I had just left my corporate job and somehow word spread and everybody wanted me to meal prep for them. To be honest I was very hesitant as I didn’t think this is where I wanted to be. I wanted to be a really spectacular food blogger and that’s why I wanted to dedicate all my time.🌟
.
🌟But life strikes you in really peculiar Ways. And I decided with the push of my husband and being five months pregnant I would try cooking for clients for the week. I started working with clients who needed food geared towards special diets I had a lot of cancer clients which were near and dear to my heart because I lost my mom to cancer many years prior. I had a lot of diabetic clients who I slowly continue to teach how to low carb. And I had a lot of families who just needed to teach their kids how to eat well.
.
🌟 A month after I started I had seven clients and a waitlist. I knew that I needed to hire because not only was my client list getting bigger but so was my belly. I knew that when I delivered my baby I would need to have somebody who would replace me for my clients. I also knew that because I had created such a unique experience full of customization for my clients I would have to expand and the only way to do that was to teach and mentor people to work the way that I did with my clients.❤️
.
🌟 so I decided that I would have a woman owned company And operated Company because there just wasn’t enough incredible women who were mentored and built up to succeed in this industry instead of yelled at and tormented in so many restaurant kitchens. I never thought I would be able to build a team like I have today. I never thought I would love the girls that work for me like my own sisters. We are truly one big family who share joys of each other and also deeply care for each other
🌟The last photo and video above are from a several course meal from this weekend where I brought together a team of three talented chefs and two incredible servers who were able to make this a very special night for someone very special to me unforgettable.❤️❤️
