July makes 9 years of Tiny Onion. 🧅

What started as a personal chef business has slowly grown into a life built around hospitality, community, local agriculture, sustainability, thoughtfully curated products, cooking, teaching, helping people create healthier habits around food and life in general.

Between Duke Farms, client kitchens, cooking classes, pop ups, collaborations, farmers markets, garden conversations, grocery store swaps, and all of the beautiful in between moments… I’ve somehow built a life that still rarely feels like work.

Really grateful for every client, farmer, small business, collaborator, friend, and supporter that has been part of this little onion journey over the last 9 years.

It’s a beautiful day to keep building.

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating today.

One of my favorite parts of being in food and hospitality is getting the chance to learn from and experience the traditions, gatherings, and meals that mean so much to different families and communities. There is always something special about people coming together around a table.

Wishing you a beautiful day filled with peace, reflection, generosity, and good food.

If you’re celebrating today, I’d truly love to hear what’s on your table.

A little story about lima beans turned into a reminder that sometimes the foods we think we dislike just haven’t been experienced the right way yet.

This one is about childhood memories, tasting things twice, and how food has a funny way of changing our perspective over time.

“The Lima Bean Story” is up now on The Peel Back. 🌱🧅

Would love to hear… what’s one food you changed your mind about as an adult?

A little glimpse into last night’s bachelorette dinner party ✨

Steph and I headed into an Airbnb kitchen and made some magic for a really fun group of ladies celebrating the bride to be. We started the evening with snacks and nibbles, moved into plated dinner, and ended with fondue and way too many fun dippers to count.

The host already put together the cutest bridesmaid gift bags, but I couldn’t resist adding a little Tiny Onion touch of my own. Watching everyone come downstairs in their comfy clothes and get excited over the surprise honestly ended up being one of my favorite moments of the night.

Good food, laughter, cozy clothes, thoughtful details, and women celebrating women. Hard to beat that kind of evening 🖤🧅

🎥 Steph and I did our best to grab a little behind the scenes footage along the way but the host really went the extra mile with taking the best pics for us!

Tomorrow Steph and I are stepping into an unfamiliar kitchen, but that’s part of the fun. Over the years, I’ve learned that adaptability is one of the most important parts of this work. Different spaces, different setups, different challenges. We always make it happen.

At the end of the day, when you truly love what you do, it’s not about the kitchen. It’s about the people, the experience, and creating something special wherever you are.

On deck… a small bachelorette dinner at an Airbnb.

Stay tuned for the deets. ✨🧅

‘Twas the night before the newsletter and all were subscribed!

Tomorrow’s note includes food thoughts, garden updates, a lima bean story, things currently inspiring me, and probably an unnecessary amount of excitement about produce per usual.

Really grateful for this life.
