"I believe the kitchen and the table are an intersection of where life happens."
that's why I'm on a mission to get people back to the table
We've lost our way. In this ever-connected world, we are ironically the most disconnected and lonely we've ever been. I believe there's a different way. I want to help return us to the simple rhythms of life. Something happens when we gather. It SHIFTS something inside us. We remember that we were made to do life together. We can learn so much about one another, we can find our way BACK to one another, just by sharing a meal. If you believe that too...
...you're in the right place
Hello there!
BEFORE WE GET TOO FAR INTO THIS...
...mixed with just enough Big Sister energy to "boss" you into making better decisions about what you put in and on your body so that you actually start to feel better. Trust me, I only BOSS because I care!
I spent years eating food that didn't fuel my body (I actually cringe now when I think of what used to pass for "dinner"). But one 30-Day clean eating challenge twelve years ago changed all of that for me. When I saw how much more energy I had and how the brain fog lifted, when my inflammation and stomach issues started to disappear, I knew there was no going back. This is really where "The Longer Table Life" was born... I am on a mission to both extend an invitation to a table where everyone is welcome AND to extend the LIFE in our years. I want you to be here long enough to see that table fill up with kids and grandkids, or maybe the family you choose with friends and neighbors gathered round. But with each passing year, more chairs are added and the table just gets longer.
This is what true legacy is to me.

must have
my favorite
dutch oven
I swear by these Staub enamel cast iron dutch ovens. I have mine in red and I love how it brightens up the kitchen. You'll often find me throwing together a soup made with whatever is in the refrigerator and letting it simmer all day.
make this
watermelon salad
Summery in every way, bright and beautiful, perfect for those hot days coming up. It's versatile enough to have as a casual snack... or makes for a real crowdpleaser when you take it to an event!
more to love
buying locally
There is something deeply nourishing about buying food that was grown from the same soil where your feet are planted. The Longer Table Life is really about getting rooted once again in what matters most and opening your eyes to the abundant life that's right in front of you.
