I love how joyful and delicious food can be! It’s wonderful to hear from both you and Annie - such a treat! Currently, I have been leaning in to plating food and how to make it look as beautiful as it is nourishing. Especially with lots of summer dinner parties happening, this has been a fun creative outlet and a new way to enjoy food for me.

Yes, I feel that too. Something shifts when we bring a simple meal outside and share it with people we care about. It fills us up in more ways than one. Thank you for sharing and reading, Ellen!

Wow! Those photos. Every recipe looks mouthwatering. I notice a strong connection between what I eat and my mental state. Biggest help is to avoid sugar for me.

Thank you so much, Lolly. I loved making these recipes and capturing a bit of the season in the summer kitchen. And yes, I really hear you on the connection between food and mental clarity. It’s amazing how even small shifts, like reducing refined sugar, can make such a difference.
