About Demeter

Hi! I’m Demeter. I love telling stories: through food, through memories and through lots of embarrassing confessions (there’s even funny voices, if you listen closely enough).

But the road to this happy place known as Beaming Baker was a bit of a long one…

Years ago, I dreamt about having a blog, running a blog and being a blogger (and also challenging myself to use the word “blog” as much as possible in one sentence.) But amongst these dreams was reality: it was a tough time in my family. Among other things, my mom was facing some very real health concerns. Her doctor had told my sisters and I that she was headed for serious health issues. If she didn’t change the way she ate and exercised, she would be in big trouble.

That was really scary to hear. My mom is everything to me. But the way I showed her my love—by picking up her favorite fast food strawberry milkshake, treating her to her favorite coconut cake—it wasn’t doing her any favors. It wasn’t going to give her the best life possible.

My mom aka Grams and me. 🙂 Why yes, we DID dress to match the painting behind us. .

The truth is, this wasn’t the first time I had thought about these grown-up issues. For years up until that point, I had tried to change/ignore/improve/bury my head in the sand about health. I come from a long line of sweet tooth badge wearers (is that a thing?). I’d always justify eating junk food by saying I was treating myself or that I’d change tomorrow. But tomorrow would roll into next week, and then the next year.

Well, this time, the change would happen today. Learning about my mom’s health issues changed everything. It was time to really commit to improving. In preparing foods for my mom, my sisters and Erik (the love of my life), I put more thought into how the food was made and the nutritional nourishment it would provide.

But most importantly, I thought about how these foods would continue to bring happiness. I wanted to make sure that no one felt deprived or like they were on a diet. One thing you’ll learn about me: I hate rules. Food should be happiness, pleasure, nourishment and fun. It shouldn’t be about feeling deprived or restricted. And that’s the philosophy here, one that I work to meet everyday.

So welcome. 🙂 My goal is to share the snacks, treats, desserts and comfort foods you’ve spent your whole life loving, but in a new, super-secretly healthy way. Shh… don’t tell anyone. It’ll be our little secret.

You’ll be pleased to know that my mom has a wonderful bill of health and the people I love are enjoying my homemade treats guilt-free. Oh yeah!

Here’s to getting to know each other & living life to the fullest. One delicious recipe at a time.

❤️ Demeter
