Beets, Bacon, & Bad Dates: A Culinary Love Story (Pre-order)

About the Book:

Beets, Bacon, & Bad Dates is my personal story—a journey through love in all its messy, beautiful, and complicated forms. This is more than just a cookbook; it’s a reflection on life’s experiences, the lessons I’ve learned about love, and the recipes that mark different stages of that journey.

In this memoir, I share stories about everything from young, playful crushes to deep, long-lasting loves. Each chapter brings a new reflection on the relationships that shaped me, the heartaches, the growth, and the joy. The 26 recipes in this book aren’t just for the kitchen—they’re reminders of the love we’ve experienced, whether it’s the carefree feeling of childhood, or the slow, simmering patience of love that takes time.

You’ll laugh, reflect, and maybe even shed a tear as you connect with these stories. The food is here to add flavor to the memories, but the real focus is on the journey we all go through as we search for love and meaning in life.

What’s Inside:

• My real-life stories and reflections: From grade-school crushes to slow-burn love, I’m sharing the lessons I’ve learned along the way. These aren’t just stories about love—they’re about life, growth, and figuring out who we are in the process.
• Practical advice from my own experiences: I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I’ve picked up some valuable lessons through my own ups and downs. Whether you’re dating, married, or focusing on self-love, you’ll find something relatable here.
• 26 unique recipes tied to love’s stages: Recipes like Chicken Nuggets for childhood crushes and Pot Roast for those loves that take time to grow. These aren’t just meals—they’re reflections of love at different points in life.
• Beautiful photos: Because we all eat with our eyes first, right? Each dish is photographed to bring the stories and recipes to life.

Who This Book Is For:

• People who love real, honest stories: If you enjoy books that make you reflect on your own life and love, this one is for you. It’s raw, honest, and full of the things we don’t always say out loud.
• Anyone looking for some advice on love and relationships: I’m not an expert, but through my experiences, I’ve learned a thing or two that might help you on your own journey.
• Food lovers who know that food is more than just what we eat: The recipes in this book aren’t just meals—they’re tied to moments and feelings. They’re a part of the bigger picture.
