Growing up our parents always told us not to play with our food, one thing I have learned from being a mom, PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD! Have fun cooking, dance in the kitchen, sing, learn and make magic.
Ever since I was in 6th grade and had home economics I fell in love with cooking and the first favorite item to stir up was of course Chocolate Chip Cookies!  Since then it has been fun learning new recipes or mixing different things in the kitchen to create a delicious meal or snack.  As life got busy, culinary wasn’t in my cards but as I became a mom learning the different twists and turns of a baby/infant/toddlers taste buds and coming up with different ways to help get her involved and explore different foods brought me back into the kitchen and have fun while doing it.  We always dance in the kitchen while we cook, create pictures with our food or sing songs while cooking and it helps her not only get involved with creating fun food but actually enjoying it!!  In all my years of working, I have found myself constantly snacking on unhealthy foods during the day and it became so much easier to have food on my desk and snack throughout the day, that is what helped inspire me to create my snack boxes.  Something simple yet healthy, pretty and appealing to everyone’s liking to help make sure you get food in during your busy schedule.  I also learned these became very helpful to have on hand for my daughter between school and extracurricular activities she had going on.  Being a single mom and wanting to spend more time with my daughter, I made the decision to step down from my 8-5 job to pursue what has always truly made me happy which is getting to be in the kitchen and create magic.  I have never been happier and it has became something that my daughter and I get to create and have fun with together!
