Meet Val & Kristy. These two amazing women have been partners in life since 2017 and partners in business since September 2019. 

Vallery Thaw, or as the world knows her "Vallery Valentine" has traveled the world performing, recording, appearing, with her band Vallery Valentine & The All-Stars since 2008, and as an independent artist promoting and meeting the demands of her fans since her album was released in 2018. Vallery is also the owner of Vallery Valentine Entertainment LLC. While performing, she also worked as an accountant in local government & private firms for 20 years.

Kristy, known to her family & friends as "Kris" has been a hard worker all her life. Some would call her a workaholic. Kristy is very well known within the community in which they live and very respected among her colleagues at a prestigious boat manufacturer. Kristy has worked building boats since 2001 and currently holds a lead position within the company. 

So how did these two come into cooking? "Kristy is an amazing cook. She reminds me a lot of my mother" says Vallery. Vallery's mom was a caterer and a seamstress her entire life.  "Food was a big part of my life growing up. I was in the kitchen baking with my mother from the time I was 5. I was frying chicken at the age of 10!"

Considering themselves "foodies" they both became interested in how food was affecting their health. They both dealt with various health issues. So they began to research healthier ways to prepare food and ventured outside of their comfort zone with foods they wouldn't normally eat.  Vallery says, "I became obsessed with getting us healthy...and I didn't want to sacrifice my love of food to do it. I began watching Darius Williams, who is just a walking light of inspiration! I watched 'The magic pill' on Netflix and immediately became intrigued with how what we put in our bodies affects our bodies."

They went on a mission to turn their new found knowledge of food and their love of cooking into a business. Thus, Inspirational Eats was born. "We began eating to live, instead of living to eat", says Kristy.  Their motto is "where soulfulness inspires healthiness." Val & Kristy promote healthy preparation of food. Believing you can still have all of your favorites and not miss a thing, just prepared with fresh, healthy ingredients. Val & Kristy specialize in Keto/low carb lifestyles with creative menu items, but they also still cater and prepare your child hood, soulful, comfort food favorites as well. "We do it with soul, and we do it healthy"!

When asked how they came up with the name Inspirational Eats, they simply said, "We were inspired. So we wanted to inspire."
