From Nurse To Baker…

Like many, the pandemic profoundly changed me. Although that time offered a fresh perspective on life, prompting me to prioritize my own aspirations over external opinions. I discovered that blogging and an excess of digital work only served to bog me down and dampen my spirits. While nursing taught me invaluable lessons about preventative care, I realized it wasn’t my true calling. Embracing what I genuinely defined as happiness, I ventured into the culinary world, securing positions as an assistant chef in local establishments. This experience solidified my belief in my culinary talents and inspired me to explore the full extent of my potential.

Enter granola. To be honest though, I’d been refining my granola recipe for years, aiming for perfection. The thought always lingered: “Maybe I could sell this granola stuff someday.” With the right catalyst and opportunity, I took the leap. As the pandemic subsided and community interactions resumed, I began packaging my carefully crafted granola. Sharing it with colleagues and at local markets, the response was overwhelming! People genuinely loved it, and the demand soared with many immediately placing repeat orders.

Today, I am so proud to say that Living Smart Granola is quickly garnering positive reviews and such amazing feedback. Thank you so much to everyone for their overwhelming amount of support and kindness. Our town and community are filled with just awesome peoples (thank you to New Hope, PA, and our second home, Lambertville, NJ!). My family and I are beyond happy and thankful for the requests to serve the amazing people of Bucks County, PA, with our delicious granola concoctions!!!

I’m currently selling at the local Wrightstown Farmers Market and at Trenton Farmers Market. To really keep track of where I’m at daily or weekly, find me at my instagram for all updates.

A Little About This Website/Blog…

Once upon a time (pre-pandemic) I was semi-invested in keeping this health and wellness blog called Living Smart Girl up and running. Some of these are 10+ years old, so that is the big disclaimer I suppose. I still like to write an article here and there, so feel free in checkin’ my blog out. If you have any interest in posting an article on legitimate health or wellness topic or want to post a link please hit us up.

In regards to the future of this website, it will continue to be mostly a launching pad for our granola sales from here on out. Granola and making other baked goods is this site’s new purpose. Goodbye Living Smart Girl, hello LivingSmartGranola.com! Both still known as LSG 😉
