Dear Reader,

Big news: I'm bringing everything together in one amazing space on Heartbeat!

What's Happening:

Rich discussions - Voice notes, dedicated threads, and more meaningful exchanges

Events: AMA's, Cooking Corner events and Challenges/Workshops

New exclusive resources - Including our cooking corner and accountability threads

These exciting maple syrup and honey flavors. I want to try the cardamom Maple Syrup.

Ingredient Spotlight:

Cipollini onion

These little Italian gems are like the underappreciated stars of the onion world—flat, disc-shaped, and naturally sweeter than their larger cousins. With their distinctive flying-saucer shape and caramel-like flavor when cooked, cipollinis transform from simple ingredients to centerpiece-worthy delights.

When roasted, they develop an irresistible melt-in-your-mouth texture and deep, concentrated sweetness that elevates everything from grain bowls to roasted vegetable platters. Unlike sharper onions, cipollinis contain more natural sugars and less sulfur, making them ideal candidates for caramelizing or glazing with balsamic vinegar.

Rich in prebiotic fiber and packed with beneficial antioxidants, these cute little onions bring both flavor and nutrition to your plate. Keep a bag on hand to add unexpected depth to weeknight meals—they require minimal prep and deliver maximum impact.
