i decided a long time ago that i'd rather be curvy + happy than skinny + hangry.

​

i've found the balance that works for me.

and my first rule is to never feel guilty about enjoying food.

​

i'm done with unrealistic beauty standards and shame-based diets. life's too short.

 

food brings me a certain joy that nothing else can.

creating it, eating it, and especially sharing it with people i love.

​

i spent two years as a restaurant writer during dc's restaurant boom,

but my passion for food started way before that.

 

from the earthquake cakes that my bestie and i baked up as kiddos, to the cookie company i started out of my apartment in college, to the many, many holiday meals, birthday cakes, + homemade feasts i've made over the years, my love of food knows no bounds.

​

i'm not here to help you lose weight, and i'm no nutrition expert.

but i'm also not advocating a descent into gluttony.

i just do my best to only eat things that make either my body or soul feel good.

ideally both, but let's be honest - sometimes the soul takes priority.
