Because He first loved ,

Weekly inspiration and encouragement

I’ve been following the podcast from the beginning and have been so encouraged both practically in the kitchen/hospitality and also spiritually over the last couple of years! It’s so fun to try new recommended recipes and also to glean so many quick and practical tips every week. Even my 6 year old has fun listening with me and gets excited to try what we hear about. The website is formatted so that it’s a cinch to find and save recipes discussed on the show. Thank you, Bess!
