In 1995 I began my cooking career as a prep cook in a busy new restaurant in South Tampa. Less than 2 years later I had the blind enthusiasm to open my very own restaurant with my former husband and, we did. We proudly operated and co-managed Blue Gardenia Eclectic Trattoria for 5 years. Not long after closing we became parents to our amazing daughter and, for about 6 years, I relished being full time mamma. Too quickly it was time to reconsider my roll
in the work force and, as if by magic, because working long hours in a restaurant was now out the question, Mindful Meals was born in February of 2009. It seems to be the perfect container through which I can support my family and be of service through the special skills I posses. Since it’s inception me and Mindful Meals have gone through significant changes but ingredient quality, 
intention, integrity and skill continue to flow through the evolution that is Mindful Meals.
