This space grew out of something deeply personal: my own journey of healing, rebuilding, and learning how to nourish myself in a completely new way after surgery.
In the months that followed, I realized recovery wasn’t just about physical healing. It was about rethinking my routines, rebuilding my relationship with food, and figuring out what “healthy” looked like for me. I had to learn how to slow down, listen to my body, and create meals that felt supportive instead of overwhelming.
Along the way, I discovered that the kitchen could either be a source of stress… or a place of calm and confidence. I chose the second one. Little by little, I found tools, habits, and pantry staples that made eating easier, more enjoyable, and more realistic for everyday life — especially as a busy mom.
Pouch & Pantry is where I share what I’ve learned:
- simple, high‑protein meals that fit real schedules
- pantry staples that make life easier
- kitchen tools that support healthy routines
- honest reflections from my own journey
- practical tips for anyone rebuilding their eating habits
I’m not here to offer medical advice or perfection. I’m here to share what helped me feel more grounded, more capable, and more at home in my own kitchen again.
If you’re navigating your own version of this journey — whether it’s recovery, lifestyle changes, or just wanting meals that feel better for your body — you’re in the right place. I’m glad you’re here, and I hope what you find helps you feel supported, understood, and inspired.
