The past few weeks have been a whirlwind. Honestly this whole year has but thats a different story. Between a transformative yoga retreat, a painful break up with a man I loved, a school load exponentially increasing, starting a new business with a soul sister I've never met IRL and finally deciding to move back to LA for good (just not yet), its safe to say my feet haven't really been on the ground. The thoughts in my head up with the clouds.
This warming curry has me all figured out though. It just gets me.

Its ridiculously easy to make, taking about 25 minutes from start to finish and keeps well in the fridge tasting better with the passing days. All desirable qualities in this girls book.
Recently, I started to cook for people on the side while going to school and it has brought me so much joy. I've also started having free consultaions with people as a holistic nutritionist and health coach which has lead to my first full time client. I am stoked to say the least and truly hope to be of service and make a difference for this person. I am so passionate and care so much about the health and wellbeing of humans on this planet.
I am in Phoenix until January so if you could benefit from having some meals prepared for you using organic ingredients then send me a message. There is a ton of info on my Services Page, About Page and here is a link to the Personal Cooking Menu process if you are interested.
To wet your appetite check out this recipe which I just made for a client this week and he texted me after telling me how much he loved it.
