I’m Stevie, creator of the Nurturing Table! I am delighted to share my passion for food and family with you.
A self-proclaimed health nut, I have spent years searching for what nourishes my body best. From plant based, to paleo, to keto, I have tried it all. However, it was after becoming a mother that my passion for finding the most nourishing and delicious foods felt even more critical.
Following the birth of my second child, I found myself feeling depleted and running on sugar. I knew I needed a dietary overhaul to regain my vitality. In 2018, I tried the Whole30 and it was such a game changer for me. Not only did I feel an incredible physical difference, but I also experienced a newfound sense of emotional well-being. I remember looking at my husband and exclaiming, “I just feel so happy!”.
Since completing my first Whole30, I have discovered the powerful impact of a whole foods diet with adequate protein on my overall well-being. Not surprisingly, I have also witnessed how this approach positively affects the health and happiness of my children. Learning what works best for my body has given me so much freedom, and I no longer feel the need to subscribe to any specific diet.
Today, you can often find me in my kitchen, little helpers by my side, creating delicious meals, desserts, and snacks from scratch that even the pickiest eaters will enjoy. As a busy mom of three kiddos, I have learned to simplify my cooking while still prioritizing taste and nutrition. I firmly believe that some of life’s best memories are made around the kitchen table, with full bellies and full hearts.
Now, here are a few fun facts about me:
– I married my high school sweetheart, and we have been together for over 20 years!
– We have three beautiful children, Owen, Claire, and Tadg
– Living at the Jersey shore, my family and I spend most of our summer days at the beach.
– Although we reside in the suburbs, I am a homesteader at heart. My hobbies include sourdough bread-making, gardening, and preserving our harvest.
-I am passionate about supporting local farmers and finding high quality ingredients that fit our budget.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I am excited to share my knowledge, experiences, and delicious recipes with you as we embark on a journey towards optimal health and well-being together. Let’s create more joyful moments around our kitchen tables, and may our hearts and bellies be forever full.
