I'm not gifted like some of my friends to create gourmet meals from fresh, local produce, so a farm-to-table kind of meal offering is sadly never on the menu in my household. BUT...box to table, I can do. 😅

There’s nights when you want to cook and make an epic, tasty, healthy meal. Then there’s nights when you just want to order that tasty meal. Which one do you want to do tonight? 🥡🥢 Launching this little side project that letters all the ways out of cooking that runs through my head at the end of the week. Sometimes I can combat it, sometimes I give in. 😋

I'm excited to introduce my lettering side project, a series of hand lettering and food illustrations about not cooking. Stay tuned!
