Baking with love and cooking with purpose is what they do at BEG Bakery and PARM Italia in the Valley. BEG stands for no butter, no eggs, no gluten. PARM represents "plants are restorative medicine". Owners Rich and Michelle Bonura both live with dietary restrictions. They are both foodies. After Rich got sick a few years ago, he lived bed ridden for eight months and did a lot of research on the food he was putting into his body. He decided if he got better—which he did—he needed to eat healthier. At BEG Bakery and PARM Italia, the food is vegan friendly. The couple even created a dairy free ice cream. Learn more about their philosophy on plant-based foods and how they wanted to create a place where the family could eat together no matter their dietary needs—and have the meal still be delicious with generous servings!

While things are great now, she tells us there was a time in her career when she thought they were done. Hear the betrayal from within the company and how Spicer chose to fight to get her business back on course. Now, she's able to give back to the community; to both youth golfers in Arizona and charitable causes in Africa. https://www.daphnesheadcovers.com/

In this episode, we meet Sarah Chisholm of Wild Rye Baking Co. She spent her youth training to be a ballerina, and after a career ending injury at Ballet Arizona, she had to start over. She turned to a place she loved to be as a kid, in the kitchen, with a mixing bowl. We talk about Chisholm's transition out of dance to find her identity and creative flair again in the kitchen. And after years as a successful pastry chef in the Valley, she just launched a new line of elevated baking mixes from cakes to frosting that are now selling in Crate & Barrel nationwide. www.wildryebaking.com
