Barbecue Like the Best

The 4th of July is the epitome of a summer party. No matter where you live, most 4th of July celebrations look pretty similar: some sort of delicious meat fired up on the grill, lots of cold drinks, America-themed décor, and—of course—great people. But here’s the catch: that’s the 10,000-foot view of the party. We […]

Our Core Values: Display Enthusiasm

Have you met a person with an infectious laugh? The kind that you just can’t help but laugh along with? That feeling—the one of catching on to someone else’s positive perspective and happy attitude—is one that I want to create again and again at events. I am incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to live […]

Our Core Values: Prioritize Integrity

Integrity is one of those words that feels so great to hear and say, but when you stop to think about it, integrity is hard to define. Technically speaking, integrity is defined as ‘adherence to moral and ethical principles’ (trust me, I looked it up!). The key to integrity seems to be the presence of […]

O Basket, Where Art Thou?

So it is Easter weekend and I figured I would share a funny Easter Day story from the old childhood. To tell you this story, I have to preface it with telling you that my Dad was a huge practical jokester and the funniest person I have ever known. He was the kind of guy […]

Our Core Values: Learn Consistently

There are a few things in life that should be immediate red flags for potentially challenging situations. For me, one of those red flags flies high and bright when I hear someone—particularly a business owner or professional person—comment about not needing to learn something new. Whether it’s a new business system, best practice, or a […]

Our Core Values: Work Smart

So, here’s the thing. There are a lot of people out there in the world who work all the time. There are business owners and entrepreneurs who hustle all the time to do work that they’re excited about.

Our Core Values: Exceed Expectations

When you have a really amazing experience, you know it. Think back to the best meal you’ve ever had: what do you think about? Most likely, the food comes to mind (of course). But I’m willing to bet that there are plenty of other memories that come with it: the people you were with, the […]

Our Core Values: Be Grateful

Ever since I was a kid, my mom and dad raised me to be grateful. We didn’t have a fancy life, but we had everything we needed because my parents worked hard. I learned from an early age that when you have gratitude, you have a lot of power. Gratitude makes it hard to keep […]

The At Home Chef Experience: Cleanliness

Let’s talk about cleanliness for a minute. As a person with a very strong preference towards efficiency and organization, the saying cleanliness is next to godliness feels so right to me. And while I’m fairly sure the origins of that phrase have to do with purity of body and soul, let’s just pretend for a […]

Romantic Dinner For Two

Ahh….Valentine’s Day. The day when lovebirds everywhere come together and celebrate their romance with flowers, chocolate, and candlelight dinners. It’s still a mystery to me how we morphed the Greek god of love, Eros, into a tiny little cherub baby with wings, but hey, here we are. Whether you like it or not, Valentine’s Day […]
