My Chef’s Kiss Date Night Cooking Class is a wonderful way to connect with your partner with having to go out, and spend a ton of $. You can relax at home and feel that warmth of connection. Don’t take my word for it - here’s what someone said about a recent class: I was super excited to schedule a date night with my husband. The best part? I didn't have to think...meaning, I love the idea of cooking together, but what? I didn't have to come up with the recipe, etc. Plus, I am always game to try something new. Beyond that, I wasn't sure what to expect. My husband and both enjoyed Krista & Billy and their sense of humor, along with the cooking tips they shared while we cooked "with" them. Howard, my husband, was astonished at how quick and easy the recipes came together. Everything was absolutely delicious, too. We appreciated the suggestions to make the experience even better, right down to music and conversation starters. I never have Howard help me in the kitchen. I cook, he cleans. I've always been good with that. Afterward, Howard said how much he enjoyed being together during the preparation of the meal, and is already looking forward to the next time. Thank you, Krista, everything was perfection. Date nights are so important - especially as busy creators or entrepreneurs - so I created an easy way to relax and connect with your love. Making time for date nights is a powerful way to nurture your relationship. How often do you take the time to do it?

I used to sit on the couch watching a movie with my husband and felt an ache deep inside. I had no idea what it was. There was just something wrong. Something very deeply wrong. We had three amazing kids. The house was filled with joy. Watching them grow sparked something inside me, love, pride, fascination... I thought this is amazing! This is the life I've always dreamt of. But I was wrong, so deeply wrong. Because my husband and I were guilty of something that many people do. We took each other for granted. We ignored each other. We focus all of our energy on anything but each other. And our relationship withered. It wasn't until we split up and got divorced that I realized that that feeling was loneliness. I didn't feel seen, loved, supported. I felt like I didn't matter. Of course, I meant the world to my kids, but adult relationships and child relationships are very different. The fulfillment I needed as an adult was not there. And that was when I said, "Never again!" I became crystal clear on the things I needed and wanted in life and relationships. I was never going to fall into that rut of complacency again. I was never going to settle for somebody else putting me there either! Then I met Billy. Everything was different. Someone recently said to me, "We've just fallen into this routine where we don't have time because we're growing our businesses and we're like strangers passing in the night. We feel unconnected", and then they ask me, "Don't you ever feel like that?" I answered without thinking, but it still struck me... no, I don't, because I don't allow that, because I know that I can have the most successful business in the world, but without Billy by my side it doesn't matter. I also know that without Billy by my side I could never build the most successful business in the world! When I say that your relationship is one of your greatest assets in business, I'm not just saying those words, I believe it! His support gives me confidence, it energizes me and helps me move forward every day. I'm doing this for myself, I'm doing this for him, I'm doing it for my kids. The only thing that's optional in there is the business... My family is the most important thing.

You land in Italy… And for once, you’re not the one planning everything. No spreadsheets. No “what should we do today?” No pressure to make it perfect. Just… space. Mornings start slowly. Coffee. Sunlight. A quiet kind of excitement. I guide youthrough local markets — fresh tomatoes, olive oil, bread still warm in your hands. You taste. You explore. You take your time. Afternoons are simple and beautiful. We save our beautiful meal in atucked-away little restaurant. Or a picnic somewhere you’d never find on your own. No rushing. No schedule to chase. I guide, you experience. You and your love… Just being there… together. And in the evenings… That’s where it shifts. You come into the kitchen with me. Private. Just the two of you. No pressure. No performance. I teach you authentic regional dishes — the kind you’ve been tasting all day. Maybe you help me cook… Maybe you just sit back and enjoy. You laugh. You sip wine. You connect. And without even realizing it… You’re learning something you’ll take home with you. Because this isn’t just a trip. It’s an experience you recreate. A meal. A moment. A feeling. Back in your own kitchen… months later. This is my Chef’s Table Couples Experience. Not a tour. Not a vacation you need to recover from. But a way to: ❤️step out of your routine ❤️be guided instead of overwhelmed ❤️and actually be present with your partner The real luxury? Not having to think. And finally having the space to feel connected again. If this speaks to you… you’ll feel it. And if you’re curious, I’m always happy to share more. 💫

Our fabulous member @Stephanie Pick brought something to my attention yesterday. Something that I have spoken about many times, but not as eloquently as this period in a book by Bronnie Ware, comes some cold facts about regrets. It's funny how life gets away from us, and sometimes we don't notice until that last moment when we have so many regrets. Bronnie wrote about the five regrets of the dying. I'm sure everybody sees a little bit of this, some are more profound than others. When it comes down to it, it's about love and relationships. Financial stability, wealth, the ability to help those around us. These are all wonderful things. But I think it's rare for someone to say, "I wish I had more money." If we're surrounded by love, we have beautiful relationships; the money just gets less important. Take a look at this list and see what resonates with you. Number five is interesting... We all think we're happy, but if we look inwardly, are we really? Let's allow happiness! Let's embrace friends and family and relationships. Let's try not to work quite so hard. 1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. 2. I wish I hadn’t worked so hard. 3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings. 4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends. 5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

Creators, especially early on, spend so much time grinding… You’re building. Thinking. Working. Food becomes an afterthought. Not because you don’t care — because you don’t have the bandwidth. So what happens? 👉 You order 👉 You grab something quick 👉 You tell yourself you’ll cook “later” And “later” becomes… most of the week. It’s not that you don’t know food matters. It’s that you don’t have a system that makes it easy. Because once takeout becomes the default… it stays the default. Most people don’t actually need recipes. They need a few solid meals they can make without thinking. Something simple. Repeatable. Reliable. So they’re not living off takeout and frozen dinners. I’ve been talking to a few guys about this and put something simple together: From Takeout to Real Meals (30 Days) Not a big program. Just helping you build a few go-to meals and actually feel confident in the kitchen. If that’s something you’ve been meaning to fix, I’m happy to share what I’m building.
