As an athlete and nutritionist, I believe food is our nourishment and fuel, but I also believe it contains the power of community building, friendship and creativity. I have put together a few of my favorite nourishing recipes to help inspire you to gather and come together this fall.

Hydroflask makes fall gatherings extra easy with their Kitchen ware. I honestly love having durable plates and bowls, that are asesthetically pleasing yet hard to damage! You can even put leftovers away easier with the built in lids!
