Dinner with Lululemon
A night with Lululemon
April 29
Pinch me to tell me I’m not dreaming—
Last night was magical to say the least. I have dreamed of working with Lululemon since I first slipped into a pair of their perfect pants years ago, so when they called me to ask if I would be interested in catering a dinner, I screamed “YES!” before they could even finish their sentence. The event brought together leaders in the Texas fitness + wellness community for a dreamy night full of drinks, laughs & of course, DELICIOUS, healthy food. The recipes from last night’s event are just too good to keep a secret, so I figured I’d share a few of them for you to make for your next dinner party…or random Tuesday night— treat yourself!
My mission is to love, nourish & inspire people with food. Food is meant to be good for your body & your soul, and it’s meant to be shared around a table with people you love— a bottle of wine doesn’t hurt too :)
Ok, ok, ok. I’m done being mushy, so we can get to what you’re here for—RECIPES!
