Hi, I’m Emma Delacourt — and welcome to my cozy corner of seed-powered nourishment.
I’m a 37-year-old mom, ex-nurse, lifelong food tinkerer — and a big believer in rituals over rules, especially when it comes to healing, nourishment, and self-kindness.
💡 Why Seeds?
My journey into chia, flax, pumpkin, and hemp began after a long personal healing process — including a bariatric surgery that changed not just how I eat, but how I relate to food.
I started experimenting with seed-based recipes out of necessity, but I stayed for the magic: the simplicity, the satiety, the gentleness. Seeds became more than food — they became rituals.
🌿 What You’ll Find Here
This blog is your go-to for real-food recipes centered around seeds. High-fiber, gut-friendly, quick to prep, and endlessly nourishing — whether you’re recovering, rebalancing, or just trying to eat smarter without overcomplicating it.
Some recipes are bariatric-inspired and include disclaimers when appropriate. Others are simply plant-powered comfort food — delicious for any phase of life.
🏡 Behind the Blog
I live in Santa Cruz, California with my husband Jake, our two kids (Sophie and Max), a talkative parrot named Kiwi, and too many mason jars. Sunday is my “Seed Reset” — a little meal prep ritual where I mix seed blends, spill flax everywhere, and feel like I’m doing something kind for my body.
💬 Why I Write
I don’t believe in food guilt, shame, or perfection. I believe in tiny acts of self-respect — like blending a 5-minute seed smoothie or slowing down enough to eat breakfast sitting down.
I write like a friend in your kitchen — not a coach with a clipboard. You’ll find real stories, fails, wins, and probably a kid or parrot interrupting every other recipe.
👭 Who This Blog Is For
