Over a year ago, I was diagnosed with celiac disease. This led me down a path of focusing on intentional nutrition in my food, while also aiming to find joy within flavors and creative recipes.
Just like with these Beef Tacos…
I believe food can bring us joy. If we have a healthy relationship with food, then cooking can be a really beautiful thing! Food will fuel us, satiate us, and alter our health both mentally and physically. It is important to maintain intention with what we consume, to find wholesome ingredients from sustainable sources, and to find joy in each bite.
I grew up watching my parents cook. My mother used to place my baby carrier on the island and I would watch and absorb what she was doing. As a young adult, my father and I would maintain a Saturday morning tradition of coffee and cooking shows. Food and its preparation is a joyful and nostalgic part of my life, which I now find joy in sharing with you.
