Day 20|Lisa Strawley| Buen Provecho

Her name is Lisa, born and raised in New Jersey with a passion for showering others with love through the meals and baked sweets she crafts. After experiencing illness approximately four years ago, her mental health suffered, but baking became her restorative elixir, reviving Lisa's spirit. This transformation marked a turning point, considering her previous aversion to baking, despite her mother's ownership of a bakery during her upbringing. Life's unpredictable turns became evident when she was diagnosed with diabetes last year, presenting a significant challenge for a self-professed foodie. Adapting to altered eating habits, especially combating sweet cravings, proved difficult. Hence, Buen Provecho emerged! This venture caters to diabetics who cherish sweets without compromising on taste. At Buen Provecho, they strive to make healthy options irresistibly delicious, challenging the notion that healthy foods must taste bland. The name pays homage to Lisa's Spanish heritage. Raised in a single-parent household, her mother ensured that family meals were a sacred tradition, regardless of her demanding work schedule. She always uttered "Buen Provecho," meaning 'enjoy' in Spanish, infusing each mealtime with love and togetherness. Lisa aspires for every individual who indulges in her baked creations to not only relish the flavors but also feel enveloped in the warmth and affection reminiscent of her own childhood table.
