Hi, I’m Beth! I founded Nourished to create healthy, handcrafted meals that truly nourish both people and the community I call home. Cooking has always been my passion, inspired by my dad and my Grandpa Peter, who showed their love through food and shared meals. That inspiration grew into Nourished, where I specialize in plant-forward meal prep and thoughtfully prepared vegan and vegetarian meals made with care in Des Moines, Iowa.
I opened Moxie Kitchen + Events, located at 4119 University Ave in Des Moines. Moxie is a Shared-Use Kitchen space that Nourished calls home, as well as a space for others. I’m proud to be part of a community that values local food and goods, supports sustainability, embraces inclusivity, and believes food can be a powerful instrument for positive change. The encouragement and support from the Des Moines community continually inspire me, and I’m deeply grateful for it.
I’m married to my husband, Rob—we met over 27 years ago—and together we have two children, Trey and Elias, and our dog, Lua. We love living in central Des Moines, right in the heart of the city. When I’m not in the kitchen creating healthy, handcrafted meal prep, you’ll find me camping, spending time on my deck with friends and family, traveling, or thrift shopping.
In addition to my website, my handcrafted vegan and vegetarian meals are available through The Iowa Food Cooperative and its satellite locations across Iowa, as well as Crème Cupcake, Kava DSM, and The Slow Down.
