This week, I had an ah-ha. On May 3, 2024, my Mom has been gone from her very favorite spot on our Earth for a year. Late last night, I had an ah-ha that I would launch my new brand, Love Beautiful Food, today to honor her (and my Dad.)
To share a little personal, all my life, my Mom would tell me, “Follow your passions, and the money will follow.” My Dad would balance this and always ask, “How much money did you make?”…whether it be after coming home from a waitress job during the summers when I was in college, or even as an entrepreneur many years later…after an event, he’d ask, “How many books did you sell.”
Here’s the news! Today, I am proud and excited to share with you that I am launching my new brand, LOVE BEAUTIFUL FOOD, in my parents’ honor! 
With LOVE BEAUTIFUL FOOD, we go from Farm to Kitchen to Table. That is from the beautiful food our local farmers grow to simple culinary techniques and intuitive cooking to creating beautiful, eye-catching appetizers, entrees, and desserts. If you love farmers markets and home cooking and are ready to elevate your dishes into incredible, beautiful food… Coming soon…more shopping tips, intuitive recipes, and opportunities to create beautiful food in Live Online Challenges, 3-day Live Online Virtual Events, and even incredible Retreats. From my heart and passion, I really do look forward to sharing my passion and skills with you and creating Beautiful Food together! Love Beautiful Food, Melanie PS And, finally, finally…my parent would say to me today…”Now go have fun!” So, I pass that to you, too. Enjoy, my friends!
