Hi everyone!

Long time no talk. I have lots to tell you and very little time.

First, Chris and I are having a blast wedding planning and getting ready for our big party. In the midst of all this, we launched Food for Lovers. You might be thinking "what's that about?"

Food for Lovers is the name of our vegan food company. Remember our vegan queso? We had a meeting with Whole Foods and in July we'll be on the shelves in 2 Austin Whole Foods stores! This is extremely exciting for us. We found an amazing manufacturer who is as picky as we are about our vegan queso, and it's mass produced not even 5 miles from our tiny apartment.

We named our company Food for Lovers for a few reasons. We're animal lovers. We're food and health lovers. We love our planet, too. Since we're getting hitched here shortly, you can safely bet we love all these things as deeply as we love eachother.

We have beautiful labels lovingly designed by Chris and we received our nutrition facts a few weeks ago! Check them out:

We're starting with 2 whole foods Austin stores, but we aren't content to stay put in one spot. We will do everything it takes to get our vegan queso in your town. We're bringing you creamy spicy vegan queso that's soy free, nut free, fat free, cholestrol free, has over 50% less sodium than regular queso.

Speaking of which, our website food-for-lovers.com will have a presale starting this week. We'll let you know as soon as pre-sale kicks off. You'll be able to order jars of our very first official batch (not counting the several test batches).

I know it's been forever since I've posted, but it isn't because I don't appreciate all of the support. I have a really great opportunity to bring you a piece of what we're about (delicious food, family, friends and our absolute love for animals). We're moving fast with every resource that we have, scraping up everything we can and risking it all to make this happen.

We're excited for you to taste how far my little recipe has evolved.

So excited for you two! xo.
