Throwback: My First Day at NWK
A throwback to my first day in the Mickle Center Kitchen! Well, day/night/morning - I was cooking into the early morning hours. After a week of working alone, I realized I needed a whole lot more help. Now I have two incredible employees and a crew of friends & family who stop in too. I’m learning magic really happens in the kitchen when it’s made up of people who have genuine excitement to show up and create - and a true love for vegetables! 💚✨🪄❤️The Mickle Center Kitchen has made this possible, and I get to share the space with...

We Broke Our Record!
I know there are businesses that make an unbelievable amount of food every day. But for us, each time we manage to up the quantities of our handmade items a little more, and a little more, it feels like an amazing feat. We are a small, 3 person team working together on Sundays, and this food is not fast. It’s hands-on and labor-filled, and we’re always looking for ways to make it better. This week we made more items than ever! We are proud to share it with you, and are so grateful for your interest and support in what...

Emergency Menu Delay
I wound up in the ER with appendicitis the other day. Thankfully it was in the early stages and I had surgery yesterday before it got too terribly painful. Because of this, I have to delay the menu a week. For those who pre-ordered - pick up will now be on Monday 3/15 from 5-6:30. My instinct is to always find a way to make it work no matter what’s thrown at me, but this time rest is going to be the best decision. I reached out to everyone who ordered and your thoughtful messages and support mean the world...

Have You Tried Our Giardiniera Hummus?
This is our Giardiniera Hummus 😍 I am all about any extra reason to eat giardiniera. I was once caught by my boyfriend eating straight up hot giardiniera relish spread on toast for breakfast 🤣 White beans with herbs, shallots, vinegar, tahini & mild giardiniera relish for a fun burst of flavor. Use in place of mayo in sandwiches or wraps!And if you want to eat it for breakfast, we don’t judge ❤️❤️❤️
