Today we’d like to introduce you to Sarah Abdow
Hi Sarah, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Everyday Eats blossomed from childhood memories of baking alongside mom. We believe that the kitchen is the heartbeat of family- a sacred space where laughter and treasured memories are made. Everyday Eats is a perfect example of mother/daughter teamwork in every sense! My personal struggle with gut health challenges and our passion for baking sparked a quest to reimagine our nostalgic recipes. We recreate our recipes to offer a taste experience with a modern day healthier twist.
Today, we spend many hours meticulously crafting each product for local cafes and sell directly to consumers, nationwide. We are committed to using only simple, nutritious ingredients to deliver uncompromising quality and exquisite taste with every bite.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Our path to success has definitely had some challenges, but we try to remind ourselves that we are still growing. Without any leads, we decided to approach cafes in person. For weeks we walked from cafe to cafe with flyers and samples greeting baristas and hoping they would put our information into the right hands. After countless rejections, we met several managers who loved our products and offered to place them on their pastry shelves. We paid close attention to customer feedback and honored their opinions. We made sure we were consistent and from here we were able to grow a loyal customer base.
We understand that growing pains are a normal part of owning a small business. We have days when we feel the hard work is paying off and days we feel defeated. But, we always have each other to lean on. We have also met amazing people on our journey who lend advice and support. For this, we are always grateful.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Everyday Eats is classic with a twist. Our mission is to offer the taste of home in every bit with hand-baked, healthy treats made from nutrient-rich ingredients. We are proud of the fact that our products check the boxes that consumers are looking for. Our products are always free from gluten, dairy, artificial dyes, flavors, and seed oils. They are also vegan, plant based, FODMAP friendly, and made with organic ingredients. We share the benefits of every ingredient, empowering our customers to make informed choices. We maintain small batch production to ensure every treat meets our standards for unparalleled freshness and taste. We use carefully chosen ingredients to balance blood sugar, support hormone health and accommodate food intolerances.
Buying Everyday Eats is easy, too! We are located in many local LA based cafes and have an easy ordering process. Order through our website and get fresh baked cookies delivered to your home or business overnight (LA) or in 1-2 days, nationwide.
How do you think about happiness?
As challenging as owning a small business is, there are exciting moments and periods of growth and self discovery along the way. What keeps me happy and self motivated is taking time for self care to prevent burnout.
I love a quick ”walk break” on a busy day or spending time outdoors for a sunset hike. As a former dancer, I will occasionally drop in to a dance class or try something new, like ballroom. I love to weight train and on weekends, enjoy visiting local farmers markets where I connect with like minded entrepreneurs.
