Changing how we see "nutrition" through innovation

I grew up in a household that had warmth, love, laughter, hardships and chaos. Me and my siblings had everything we needed to have a healthy safe childhood, which was made possible by our parents. However me and my twin sister we were very picky eaters, and the thing we hated most were vegetables in any form and shape.

And because we had little to none vegetable intake while growing up, we had quite a few health issues throughout our childhood. Mom would try to force feed us our vegetables but we would gag and throw up sometimes. And I remember the vegetables were always the same ones, cooked the same way too. If it's not carrots and potatoes, it's spinach, cabbage and carrots or pumpkin.

So growing up with that experience I never thought I would enjoy and love eating vegetables, let alone start a business that has a core value proposition of nutrition through balanced and fresh produce healthy meals.

In my late 20's I had a series of health scares and had a few surgeries done while maintaining my chronic illness. The choice to make nutrition the center part in my daily living came pretty easy to me because I knew that was my best chance in maintaining a positive life for myself.

I realize a lot of household may have the same situation I experienced growing up, where the kids are not so much into vegetables. And parents find themselves in the same situation my parents were when I was growing up, with not a lot of options on how to re invent certain vegetable meals and so forth. And I found that once you mention "healthy living" people automatically thing " expensive products" because of the perception the world has unintentionally portrayed.

My vision is to do away with the narrative that healthy living is only acquired through expensive products and drastically changing eating habits. Fabulously twinning catering is offering products that anyone can recreate at home with whatever vegetables or fruits they have and be creative, with just a simple innovative approach.

My mom has a friend that has diabetes and she had to have both her legs amputated due to that, and I found that even in her condition her eating habits are still not good. They have a vegetable garden in their yard but hardly ever cook vegetables, because they don't have many option or ability to create different veggie meals. How many household are in the same situation in my community? Or in other communities too, so the goal is to introduce simple innovative ways and products that can transform simple ingredients into healthy nutritional balanced meals that can be enjoyed by everybody, young and old.

I have created products that can work as a multipurpose item in the kitchen, instead of buying lots of different spices to make one meal you can get one konke Spice blend which can be used by an 80 year old grandmother cooking for her grandchildren. I want to teach people that using what you have to make something special and unique is possible without even compromising your health with unhealthy food choices.

A healthy lifestyle doesn't have to be intimidating, because all it takes is making the right choices and finding creative ways to work with what you have at your disposal. The vision is to host pop up cooking tutorials for old grandmother's in less disadvantaged areas and equip them with simple and easy tools or tricks for them to use in the kitchen to maximize longivity and healthier eating habits.

Later this year 2022 I will be running a weekend workshop to promote "healthy eating habits using what you have at your disposal" the goal is to teach elderly people a few tricks that they can adopt and use in their homes especially those taking care of grandkids or running crèches in their homes for less privelaged kids.

My community is congested with unhealthy processed foods from food vendors, hawkers and food trailers. Everyone is selling the same thing in every corner, so the people have little options given to opt for a healthier alternative. And they are too scared or lack means to venture outside the neighborhood seeking for healthy options because of the perception of "healthy lifestyle" is expensive because of the products we encouraged to buy in order to obtain that lifestyle.

Fabulously twinning catering is bridging that gap and offering easy access to sustainable user friendly services and products to maintain a healthy balanced lifestyle without breaking your bank account by using what you have at your disposal at any certain time in your life.

"DISCOVER FAB FLAVORS" the fabulous way... 

A healthier generation starts with good nutrition from an early age, and innovative ways to maintain it.

Thank you for reading about my vision, I hope it resonated with you
