I am a 44 year old wife & momma. I love being a wife and I love being a mom. What I love about those roles is the love and sacrifice.. the gift of all that those roles are. I find myself now with sweet girls who need me less.. who are ready to begin their lives and go where God is calling them.. leaving me to ask myself, so now what? What do I want to do with this next chapter? As I go to my prayer room and seek the Lord (because walking with Jesus for 19 years has taught me don’t go it alone) I ask, “what’s next?”
At times I can understand the scary wonderment that I see in my girls’ eyes as they face the future.. I had decided to wait on the Lord.. and wait. And then a call. “Cater my daughter’s wedding?” sure.. but then we met and I asked a very simple question..one I have been asking myself.. “who are you guys?” This sweet young bride lights up! And together we find “inspiration” We go on a European journey of charcuterie trays, infused oils, a organic farm to table food inspiration ..made from scratch..a completely unique menu…
My inspiration is to create memories orchestrated by God with the gifts and talents He has blessed me with to bless others on some of the most important memories of their lives… and so, it may seem, I am back to catering.. No not just catering but the kind of food that I serve at my table.. food rich in taste and culture..food that tells as story.. food that marks life changing events. So this chef is back and yes I will continue to teach my classes because I believe in them!
