🥕 DON’T WALK PAST IT! 🌱

How many fruits and vegetables do we walk past in the grocery store simply because we don’t know what to do with them?

Beets, jicama, chayote, nopales, bitter melon, fennel, plantains, bok choy—and so many more deserve a second look.

This week, challenge yourself to pick one unfamiliar ingredient, take it home, and try something new.

You never know what might become a new favorite. 💚

One unfamiliar ingredient at a time.

🛒 FLIP IT OVER!

The front of the package catches your attention—but the back gives you the information you need.

Before it goes in your cart, take a few seconds to read the ingredient list, check the Nutrition Facts, and compare your options.

And don’t forget to explore your local farmers, vendors, and small food businesses when you can. 🌱 Supporting local can introduce you to some great products while supporting the people in your own community.

Read it. Compare it. Choose what works for you.

🌱 Plant-based doesn’t have to mean boring!

Walnuts, beans, lentils, mushrooms and other everyday ingredients can create incredible texture, flavor and versatility in place of meat.

Sometimes the best results come from combining ingredients—like walnuts + beans + mushrooms with a little nutritional yeast for savory flavor.

Save this guide and experiment in your own kitchen!

🥚 No eggs? No problem!

Eggs play different roles in cooking and baking—from binding and moisture to structure and texture. The trick is knowing which substitute works for the job.

Save this guide for the next time you need an egg alternative in the kitchen. 🌱

Cook smarter. Learn your ingredients.

A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO MARTHELLA McWILSON
(In guidance, building personal credit to business credit)

Some professional relationships go far beyond business.

For more than 15 years, Marthella McWilson has served as my family’s trusted real estate professional, consulting my husband and me through buying, selling, refinancing, and important real estate decisions.

But our professional relationship didn’t stop with real estate.

For more than a decade, Marthella has also been one of my trusted business strategists and mentors. She walked alongside me through the operation of my bakery—from purchasing the bakery, navigating business decisions, and eventually closing that chapter, to exploring the many business opportunities that followed.

Throughout those years, I have always valued Marthella’s loyalty, wisdom, honesty, and willingness to help me look at the bigger picture before making important decisions.

Today, our professional relationship is entering another chapter.

As I continue building Cooks Thyme LLC and expanding my Cottage Kitchen Workshops, Marthella will collaborate with me as an independent resource, bringing her professional knowledge and experience in credit education to individuals who may benefit from those services.

I believe there is something powerful about two entrepreneurs from different professional fields bringing their individual expertise together to help others move forward.

Marthella, thank you for the years of guidance, encouragement, business wisdom, and friendship. Most importantly, thank you for continuing to believe in what I build.

I’m excited about this next chapter and everything we will be able to accomplish together.

For those seeking professional assistance with credit education, credit services, or real estate, I am proud to recommend:

After 20 years in the culinary industry, I’ve discovered that my true purpose isn’t just cooking—it’s teaching.

There’s nothing more rewarding than sharing knowledge, building confidence, and helping others grow through food.

This new chapter wasn’t handed to me. It was earned through hard work, faith, and perseverance. I’m grateful that God has led me to this moment.

Now, I get to do what I truly love: teach, inspire, and serve others through culinary education.

❤️ This is exactly where I’m meant to be.

Congratulations to JM Notary Services & Virtual Assistance Services and Cooks Thyme LLC—this is only the beginning!

In 2026, two women in business decided to collaborate. One is a chef and food safety educator. The other is an administrative and AI-powered business professional. While our industries are different, our shared commitment to excellence brought one vision to life.

Together, we transformed an idea into Cooks Thyme LLC through branding, website development, marketing materials, organization, project management, and creative strategy.

This partnership reminded me that successful businesses aren’t built alone—they’re built through collaboration, trust, and shared expertise.

Thank you, JM Notary Services & Virtual Assistance Services, for believing in my vision and helping me build a strong foundation for the future. Your creativity, professionalism, attention to detail, and innovative ideas have made a lasting impact on my business.

I’m excited for everyone to see what we’ve created together.
