How I Stopped Dieting and Started Thriving
Let’s be honest, friends… when it comes to nutrition advice these days, the internet is loud. Scroll for 30 seconds and you’ll hear that seed oils are poison, carbs are evil, liver is life, and lemon water will fix your gut, your credit score, and your marriage. 😅 So if you're skeptical? Good. You should be. Because the truth is: your body doesn’t need trendy fixes. It needs foundational nourishment—and it responds beautifully when it gets it. That’s exactly what we do at New Leaf Table.
So… what sets us apart?
There’s no shortage of “experts” online. But here’s what I bring to the table:
- Years of nutrition study and recipe development
- A real-life mama and entrepreneur who understands BUSY
- Thousands of tested, real-food recipes made for real families
- And most importantly? Results. Not perfection. Not punishment. But true, energizing results.
I’ve seen it over and over again: when people ditch the ultra-processed junk and start feeding their body foundational, whole foods—even just a few times a week—they come alive again.
More energy. Less brain fog. Happier digestion. Stable moods. Fewer crashes.
I don’t believe in magic pills—but I do believe in the magic of a well-nourished body.
Chef E’s 6 Rules for Real Nourishment
🥩 Don’t fear red meat.
A grass-fed steak has more bioavailable nutrients than a bowl of fortified cereal or even most salads. And it actually satisfies you.
🫀 Organ meats are nature’s multivitamin.
We sneak liver and heart into easy recipes—like meatballs, burgers, or chili—so you get the benefits without the overwhelm. (Check out our Chicken Meatballs with Roasted Potatoes or Cheeseburger Casserole for great examples.)
🍳 You probably need more food—not less.
When your body’s undernourished, it holds onto fat, burns out your energy, and craves sugar. Our Buffalo Chicken Salad is a great high-protein, high-satiety recipe to try!
🌱 Source matters.
Whether it’s pasture-raised eggs or local vegetables, what your food eats (and how it’s grown) directly impacts your health. That’s why New Leaf Table encourages knowing your farmer when you can—and shopping clean when you can’t.
🍑 Grace > guilt.
You don’t have to get it perfect. Every small choice adds up. If one home-cooked meal is all you can manage this week, let’s make it delicious and nutrient-dense.
💪 Women deserve better nutrition.
We’re tired of being handed 1,200-calorie crash diets and told to just “try harder.” At New Leaf Table, we give you meals that nourish your hormones, blood sugar, and energy levels—all while tasting incredible.
Start Where You Are
You don’t need a detox. You need dinner.
That’s where New Leaf Table comes in:
- Weekly recipes with step-by-step videos and one-click grocery carts
- Clean, satisfying meals the whole family will love
- Options like Black Bean Burgers, Fish Sticks with Carrot Fries, and Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Thighs that check all the boxes (and taste like comfort food)
You don’t need another Instagram influencer telling you what not to eat. You need someone to hand you a meal plan that works with your life.
That’s why I created New Leaf Table. And that’s why I believe in you.
Let’s rebuild your energy, your rhythms, and your kitchen—one nourishing recipe at a time.
With love and clarity,
Chef E
