No one in this world has walked the same professional or personal path as you have.
What you’ve learned in the sunshine and dark night, under the stars, and through the storms is what makes you unique. That moment you’ve seen the sun peak through the clouds and the rainbow appears; that’s your gift to share.
Let your path inspire hope in others.
Start working towards that goal you want to achieve.
Say yes to the things that scare you!
When self-doubt wants to creep and “Negative Nelly” begins telling you why you can’t do it, remember, you were designed with a purpose.
There isn’t anyone who has the same gifts and talents like you, nor has anyone had the same life experiences.
The world needs YOU.
As we begin a new week, remember to stand tall, do the work, trust the process, and watch what you are working on unfold.
Keep going. Keep sharing. Keep believing.
And if you’re tired, rest, but don’t give up.
You got this!
]]>Last week I made a recipe that had everyone at the table smiling. A homemade tomato basil soup that was easy to make, easier to clean up, had my kids asking for seconds, and a low-cost meal enjoyed by all!
Actually, to go a step further, this meal earned me the “Best Mom of the Week” 🏆💁♀️ award. Yup, you read that right. The title was only given for a week (and by Friday, it was already taken away because of some parenting rules I enforced). But hey, given the track record of the past 12 months, I’ll take it!
Since I believe we can all use more reason to smile these days, I’m sharing this recipe with you.
Easy - Peasy Homemade Tomato Basil Soup
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Viola! Ready to serve!
Bonus Smiles: Tomato Basil Mozzarella Grilled Cheese
Top bread with cheese, add tomato, and basil—season with black pepper and top with the remaining slice of bread.
Heat 1 tsp butter over medium heat, add sandwich, and cook until lightly browned, flipping to cook on both sides.
Enjoy!
When you make this recipe, post a pic and tag on Foodspirations on Facebook and Instagram for a chance to win a SAVOR print!
]]>Our story began as a simple way to connect, educate and inspire clients to take the journey to a healthier life, one step at a time.
As people shared their personal challenges, nuggets of inspiration would be written as an email, creating a new Foodspirations. There was nothing fancy about the start. There was no strategy or thought behind how things would evolve.
The only thing we knew, is that people connected with and were responding to what was being shared.
In 2010, the first-holiday card, SAVOR was born and later we published “The Little Black Book of Foodspirations®”.

In 2010, the first-holiday card, SAVOR, was born, and later we published "The Little Black Book of Foodspirations®."
Each year we have continued to create and release a new word and card of the year.
When we felt stuck or wondering if we should keep going, you came around, asking for more.
You kept us going when we didn't know where we were headed.
What we did know was that these words were speaking to people.
Professionals such as dietitians, health coaches, social workers, therapists, and trainers asked to share Foodspirations with their clients.
Support from family, friends, and mentors was fuel to our tank, when we questioned, is this worth it, you gave us the nudge we needed.
And our clients are the ones who ultimately kept us going. Seeing the peace and comfort a simple word like BELIEVE or PEACE could bring someone made us know we could not give up.
Nine years later, here we are.
New site. New logo. Unique designs. New printing partner.
Still us.
At the beginning of 2019, we set a goal to launch a site that was authentic to our core values, but also functional. We knew we needed to share not only who we were, but also how our products can be used both professionally and personally.
We couldn't be more excited to begin this new journey with you.
At Foodspirations, we offer products that can be either purchased as is or branded for your business to be shared with your clients.
While we have made some pretty bold changes, we promise the fundamental principle of people connecting with people, is still what us to create and share with you.
As you come to the end of this post, you might be wondering who is the "us" referring to?
It's me, the founder, Yvette Perrier Quantz, along with you, and your stories, that have inspired the words and designs of Foodspirations.
We created this together.
We we can't do this alone.
