Who even is she?

Hello! So I’ve posted a couple of recipes…but who am I and what am I trying to achieve?

It’s difficult to know where to begin, but maybe I’ll start with the here and now.

I have an utterly amazing partner who has far too much energy, and he decided we should start up this ‘thing’. The thing is called Big Beard Brand (if you hadn’t guessed). Big Beard Brand is all about positive vibes and healthy lifestyle choices. Bob does all the energetic stuff, I make up recipes that support this! We also both design clothing to boost our brand ethos. Bob’s training to be a Personal Trainer, I’m close to finishing a Masters in Psychology. We’re here to support body and mind and everything that goes with that.

Nutrition is key to supporting a healthy body and mind! That’s where my recipes come into play.

As well as burying my head in psychology books, I also have a passion for cooking! I find it therapeutic. I’ve cooked meals since I was a child. I appreciate not everyone shares this same passionate feeling towards cooking, so I began to compile a collection of nutritionally balanced meals that can be easily recreated in your own home.

Our home life is chaotic! We have children. We have pets. We have musical instruments (mainly guitars). We have books and toys, and we have far too many shoes and coats. And I’m a messy cook! But we are real, and we know how to keep going! We overcome life’s daily hurdles and just keep going. We hope we can inspire you to do this too.

The recipes I share are more than just recipes. They are a glimpse into our life. They are a glimmer of hope on a bad day. They are a comforting hug. They are scraping a meal together when you feel you have nothing. They are created out of love for food, and love for family. And shared with compassion and understanding.
