Living A Nourished Life
A nourished life is one lived with intention—where food, rest, connection, and joy are honored equally. It’s rooted in presence, guided by care, and feeds both body and spirit with vibrant food, love, and purpose.
It isn’t about perfection, but about tending to what matters most: good health, joyful movement, meaningful relationships, a comforting home, and a soul that feels fulfilled. It’s the salad and the slice of cake, the seaside walk, the table set with love, and the small daily rituals that become sacred.

Mango Caprese Salad
A different take on the traditional Caprese salad, with flavors of the Mediterranean fused with a tropical flair and a hint of south of the border. Juicy mango, raspberries and salty mozzarella make for a spectacular mix, especially when you add a bit of heat from some chilies and a tangy hit from pickled onions.
Quick Pickled Red Onions
Pickled red onions can add a bit of tang and some pretty pink to so many dishes. Add some slices of jalapeños and you will give this wonderful condiment a bite of heat. A staple in most Mexican kitchens, pickled red onions can be a delicious addition to tacos, quesadillas and enchiladas, but they are also wonderful on scrambled eggs, avocado toast, fish dishes and salads. Not as sweet and my Red Onion Marmalade, but they are interchangeable and I always have a jar of at least one of these on hand at all times.
