A Heartfelt Testimonial “We ordered some of the holiday gift sets, as well as several individual soups for our family’s consumption. The shipping was lightning fast, and the gift sets were packaged beautifully! So far, my family has tried 3 different soup varieties, each of which we used a protein in, and they knocked our socks off; not a single morsel left in the pot! ...

Combining taste, health and speed, without compromise, is our thing! "One day, you may even find Eat Me In a Pinch options on Elon Musk's colonized Mar's community," said Marty, our corporate visionary.

We saved some for you... but they are going fast! As a budding small business, we hand mix, package, and label our soups in small batches around raising and homeschooling our daughter. Did you know...

We hope you are enjoying the bounty and gratitude that comes with the season. Nature's gifts are everywhere for us to enjoy, and in tern we can share gratitude and gifts with others. We recently enjoyed a weekend in our camper. In this video...

It's good to test out competition. Today I tried a "just add water" Indian curry bowl from another company. I had to let it sit for a while to cook in the bowl, which is comparable to the time it takes to cook Eat Me In A Pinch soups on the stove. I found...

I recently saw a post on LinkedIn that said "eating junk food is so common now that when someone starts eating healthy, it's labeled as dieting." Have we moved so far away from a naturally healthy lifestyle that it's now a diet category?

"Food is my love language. My family has thrived for decades with healthy meals. It’s rewarding knowing we are passing the love on by making healthy easier with our plant based quick cooking soups.”

Whether it be for your own enjoyment or for the joy of giving, Eat Me In A Pinch Soups are here to help!

Happy Fall Equinox! We are already seeing the colorful bounty from this amazing summer come to life at the farmer's fruit and veggie stands with heaps of fall harvest squash and pumpkins. Soon there will be corn mazes, pumpkin decorating, feasts to enjoy with family and friends, and the comradery of the gifting season

I'd really love to know... What's your favorite soup so far and why? To date peoples favorites are...

I am so excited to debut our 8th soup! This is a tricky process trying to emulate fresh ingredients, as well as, rich flavor depth from plant based sources, all in a dry mix quick cooking formula.

We have been given the gift of choice to create the world of our choosing. It never ceases to amaze me how much goes on from one week to the next. I always have an abundance of exciting news to share with you.

Yes, it is truly possible to create a plant based savory split pea soup. I designed this soup with instant split peas, potato flakes, lots of seasoning, including savory, and some smokey vegan unbacon bits made with organic soy protein.

Who said you can't eat soup in summer? Seriously! I am elated to notice I am not alone. As more and more people discover EatMeInAPinch soups, I observed that soup is really a thing, a year round thing.

That counts for abundance too! My plate overrunneth and I’m beyond excited for it all. Multiple projects for multiple businesses, multiple streams, and multiple opportunities to provide for and help others. Live your Bliss! One of these projects is the launch of my new Summer Garden Chowder with a kick of smoked paprika setting the stage for a menagerie of summer veggies mixed with rich flavor. Organic. GMO-Free. Vegan. Delicious!

Ask and you shall receive! Thank you everyone for an encouraging week of honest feedback. I have enough room to share a few stories with you today. What I can say for sure is that you must never give up on your vision. Some days may be quiet, challenging, or even doubtful. However, as long as you take action every day toward your passion, energy will respond in kind.

Do you ever feel like you're To Do list is overwhelming? Honestly, I've got a ton on my plate right now and staying consistent is challenging.

What we see of people's lives is usually a preferred snap shot of what we have chosen to share. Our lives, however, are full of many other moments that create our unique experiences. I have found most people are surprised to discover our soups are made in a real commercial kitchen.

Options are endless out there for all of us to navigate. Making a choice on what to buy can be daunting. Weeding through marketing lures and being fastidious with ingredient research takes dedication. At Eat Me In A Pinch, I am passionate about developing this business with transparency, integrity and fervor. If I had to break it down to two words - Be Real - I think covers it well.

We hope you enjoyed a wonderful Independence Day celebration. We soaked up Pacific Northwest Island weather with friends at a beach BBQ with incredible fireworks. We are so grateful for all we have.

Wow! A few days of triple digit temperatures in the Pacific Northwest was an extraordinary experience. We've enjoyed harvesting some yummy goodness from our garden from all the heat. We've also taken advantage of the local rivers and lakes to cool off. And the summer only just begun!

The weather has become wonderfully warm in the Pacific Northwest. So what do you do when it's hot outside and you're not really in the soup mood? We've got a few tricks up our sleeves to share with you!

With our exciting milestone launch of our website last week, I have been busy making soup mixes and shipping out orders.We could not have done this without you. Thank you for your orders!

Oh my gosh! We are SOOOO EXCITED! It has been a 9 month project coming to fruition! Our commercial kitchen permit was finally approved last week. The hustle to finalize the EatMeInAPinch.com website ensued and now it's ready for you!

A few years ago we had an idea. Last fall we started taking action on that idea. Around a busy life, and raising and homeschooling our daughter, we are finally seeing it take shape! Yesterday, upon inspection, we were given approval to be open for business!

Welcome to Eat Me In A Pinch! Some of you have been part of this journey since we began developing this business last fall (thank you), and some of you are new to learning about what we're creating (welcome).As many of you know, we are an entrepreneurial family with over a decade's experience in the hand crafted jewelry world. Life is a journey of adventures, and now we find ourselves at the doorstep of a new business.

It's so exciting to see this project come together. From concept, to research and development, to recipe formulation, to kitchen build out, to licenses, inspections and permits, website development and marketing. All the pieces of the puzzle are starting to form clear picture. The vision is alive and we close to an official launch!

As we wait for our kitchen permits, we are still moving forward. The massive project of building the website is coming together with the help of our development team. In addition, I started creating our 6th soup in effort to continually expand the options soon available for purchase!

Our health is our gateway to a happy life. What we put in our bodies either supports our wellness or the opposite. After years of eating organic and GMO-free, we are excited to be launching healthy options to share with you soon.

Our soup mixing kitchen is all set up. It seems like it's taking forever, but it's not, considering everything going on in life. The juggle and struggle are a real part of the process, yet we can choose our perspective. We choose to enjoy the adventure of it all.

The soup saga continues! The application for our commercial kitchen permit is in the mail. Now we wait for the Washington State Department of Agriculture to inspect and approve us! Thank you for being part of this blossoming business journey. The support and feedback helps build our foundation and we are grateful!

The Eat Me In A Pinch commercial kitchen is almost done! We are so much closer to opening for business. As entrepreneurs with a background in hand crafted jewelry design, manufacturing, and marketing, we are experienced in business development. There is, however, another layer of projects, requirements, and permits involved regarding food safety in launching a food business.

What we do to our soils we do to ourselves. At Eat Me In A Pinch, we use organic and GMO-free ingredients because they are harvested from organic farming. They are free of toxins and pesticides. The soils are healthier and more sustainable. The crops also yield more nutrient dense produce.

We strongly believe that good nutrition is critical to living a long and healthy life. This means choosing healthy food with as much organic, non-GMO, and as natural ingredients as possible, is essential. Our recipes are sourced as organic as achievable with health and wellness in mind. When you need to cook something in a pinch, our soups are here to indulge your taste buds, as well as, nourish your life.

Each week we move forward at a steady pace creating this business around life and family. Our web developer is working on the website. Marty is working on the commercial kitchen walls. I am working on the samples and adding new ideas to the collection.

"May the dreams you hold dearest be those that come true, and the kindness you spread keep returning to you." • Irish Blessing. As this soup business continues to unfold, the more excited I become to help make your life easier with delicious, nutritious and quick to make meals.

I keep getting emails about where to buy these awesome soups. No you didn't miss the website link, and thank you for your interest. As soon as we finish our commercial kitchen, get our food processing permits, and finish a website, you'll be the first to know. In the meantime, feel free to reach out about the sampling program.

Bunnies are hopping around and the birds are singing. Flowers are sprouting and the smells of spring are in the air. As nature blooms around us, I spent some time reformulating my Tempting Thai soup that is truly springing with flavor.

Building a business is definitely a blend of patience, persistence and perseverance. I am so eager to be up and running, yet I keep rooting myself in awareness of enjoying the journey. Seeing this storage room in our home transform into a home based food business is exciting!

While the commercial kitchen buildout is in progress, there's plenty of other projects to do. I'm still finalizing the Tempting Thai soup and am considering a peanut sauce recipe.

Thank you Supporters! Without you, I wouldn't be doing all this. Thank you all for your interest! And a special thanks to all the taste testing supporters. Your contribution is helping me dial in on all the details to make premier final products.

Construction Begins! Our plumber is set for next week to plumb in my triple bay sink required for the commercial kitchen. Then we finish the walls and seal the concrete floor...

Why Are These Soups Special? We eat as organically as possible at home. We live a holistic lifestyle with the Hippocrates philosophy of "let food be thy medicine." This has kept us all very healthy for decades. I make what I eat, so these dry mix ingredients are almost all organic, GMO-free, additive free, and funky ingredient free.

Chummy Chili - This black chili bean soup is kid safe and approved on the spice level. Just add your own hot pepper flakes or hot sauce for some spice heat.

Marketing gurus always preach, be a product of your product. Seriously it's true. I am proud to say I have been using our soups just like I envisioned people enjoying them. Learn more about the Tomato Basil Bliss soup!

We made it to 2021! What now? Commercial kitchen build out for me! How about you? What exciting new endeavors, challenges or quests are you embracing this new year? I'd love to hear from you!

December 2020 - Creating into the new year with more ideas and fabulous feedback!
