Hello Darlings!

I’m Stephanie; mother, former surfer, merchandising + food styling columnist, grazing platter curator and founder of Meet the Smallsens.

Meet the Smallsens is a place for millennial parents looking for new favorite recipes, parenting life hacks, and seasonal inspiration. Itโ€™s for the foodies, who love to entertain company over meals. Iโ€™m here to share my west coast life and recipe ideas you will probably recognize, but with a twist of my own to make them different and special in hopes to make your loved ones smile. Head over to my grazing page to see details on grazing boxes and boards; perfect for your next event.

Hope you follow along with my Pacific Northwest, Flexitarian Life.

COVID-19 is putting immense pressure on grocery retailers, distribution centers and production facilities. Thank you to all my amazing and incredible friends and colleagues who are going above and beyond to care for their customers and communities. I am proud, patient, and I praise you. As we go through this pandemic and social distancing I will be pausing grazing trays for a moment. I look forward to serving you all once we get through this challenge together.
