Hi everyone! 💙 In just 2 days, we'll be beginning a special guided kombucha experience together, and I wanted to personally invite anyone who's been thinking about joining us. Over the years, Tyler and I have realized that this has never really been about kombucha. It's about building confidence. It's about slowing down, creating healthier rhythms, and discovering that your kitchen can become one of the most empowering places in your home. For the next 8 weeks, we'll be guiding our group step-by-step as we brew, learn, ask questions, and explore what we call Beyond the Beverage—using kombucha as a gateway into real food, fermentation, and practical kitchen confidence. If you've been watching from the sidelines, wondering if now is the right time... This is your invitation. 💙 And if you know someone—a friend, family member, neighbour, or colleague—who has been wanting to improve their health, learn something new, or simply reconnect with cooking, I'd be honoured if you shared this opportunity with them as well. (Share your Chefs By Design Skool Link) We're keeping this experience intentionally personal so everyone receives the attention and support they deserve. Thank you for being part of this community and for believing in what we're building together. Register here 🫧 Kristin & Tyler

We needed to restock our marshmallows for our bonfire adventures, so dessert tonight was chocolatey gooey s’mores! The cookie recipe we used is located in the Phase 4 Going Deeper Folder: 250+ conscious recipes. The marshmallow recipe shared here is a favourite ‘go-to’ I have been making for years, this batch I sifted in some cocoa powder before it was ready to pipe :) What did you make this weekend? I encourage you to make a post or share in the comments. Also, come pop in and say hi this Tuesday morning at 10:30am MST, during our welcome chat! Link is located in the Calendar tab.

Had a craving for something braised. Decided to go with one of my old favs….. Beef cheeks!! 5+ hour braised lip smacking deliciousness!! Then had a blast making Beef Cheek Ravioli with the family Conscious cooking full of flavour 💚
