farm to table cooking

Can’t get your child to eat their vegetables? Research shows that children are more likely to eat a new or even a familiar food when they have been involved in the cooking process. That is our experience here at Bliss Belly Kitchen! We incorporate local, seasonal organic fruits and vegetables into every dish.

yoga and breath work

A happy belly starts with a happy mind. That's why we start each day with a yoga and meditation session to recharge the body, mind, and spirit before we enter the kitchen and make delicious food!
