Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating today.

One of my favorite parts of being in food and hospitality is getting the chance to learn from and experience the traditions, gatherings, and meals that mean so much to different families and communities. There is always something special about people coming together around a table.

Wishing you a beautiful day filled with peace, reflection, generosity, and good food.

If you’re celebrating today, I’d truly love to hear what’s on your table.

A little story about lima beans turned into a reminder that sometimes the foods we think we dislike just haven’t been experienced the right way yet.

This one is about childhood memories, tasting things twice, and how food has a funny way of changing our perspective over time.

“The Lima Bean Story” is up now on The Peel Back. 🌱🧅

Would love to hear… what’s one food you changed your mind about as an adult?

A little glimpse into last night’s bachelorette dinner party ✨

Steph and I headed into an Airbnb kitchen and made some magic for a really fun group of ladies celebrating the bride to be. We started the evening with snacks and nibbles, moved into plated dinner, and ended with fondue and way too many fun dippers to count.

The host already put together the cutest bridesmaid gift bags, but I couldn’t resist adding a little Tiny Onion touch of my own. Watching everyone come downstairs in their comfy clothes and get excited over the surprise honestly ended up being one of my favorite moments of the night.

Good food, laughter, cozy clothes, thoughtful details, and women celebrating women. Hard to beat that kind of evening 🖤🧅

🎥 Steph and I did our best to grab a little behind the scenes footage along the way but the host really went the extra mile with taking the best pics for us!

Tomorrow Steph and I are stepping into an unfamiliar kitchen, but that’s part of the fun. Over the years, I’ve learned that adaptability is one of the most important parts of this work. Different spaces, different setups, different challenges. We always make it happen.

At the end of the day, when you truly love what you do, it’s not about the kitchen. It’s about the people, the experience, and creating something special wherever you are.

On deck… a small bachelorette dinner at an Airbnb.

Stay tuned for the deets. ✨🧅

‘Twas the night before the newsletter and all were subscribed!

Tomorrow’s note includes food thoughts, garden updates, a lima bean story, things currently inspiring me, and probably an unnecessary amount of excitement about produce per usual.

Really grateful for this life.

Thanks to for asking good questions!

One thing I’ll never stop doing in my business is saying thank you.

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve loved stationery, books, paper, stickers… all of it. So somewhere along the way, handwritten thank you cards became part of how I show gratitude.

Every person who allows me into their home, kitchen, event, or space deserves more than a copy and paste note. I always write something personal because I genuinely want people to feel how thankful I am for their support.

Another thing that matters deeply to me is supporting other small businesses whenever possible. The cards, stickers, swag, and details I use throughout my business have all been designed by local artists and fellow entrepreneurs.

One detail I especially love are my personalized stamps (designed by Sara!) created through . Tiny detail. Big joy.

Hospitality lives in the little things.
It’s a beautiful day to say thank you.

👏🏽🧅🫶🏽🛒:
for literally designing everything.sciancalepore for the most beautifully drawn veggie cards!
for the most perfect squares of paper to stamp on!

Recognizing all of the moms in my life today.
It’s really something special to see a gaggle of women raise children, all in their own way. Different styles, different traditions, different homes. But the one thing they all have in common is how deeply they love their children.

One of the coolest parts of being a personal chef is getting a little glimpse into family life in real time. The holidays, the homework, the dinner table conversations, the celebrations, the routines. There’s a lot of love in those moments.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the amazing moms out there.
