In partnership with Jelt and Moxie Nosh .
Uh, yum.
Together with Jelt of Bozeman, Montana and Moxie Nosh of Missoula, Montana, I am pleased to create this easy summer meal!
Jelt’s founder and personal friend of mine, Jennifer Perry, is a badass mom who devotes her time and infectious energy to create practical, sustainable belts for everyone…while empowering women. These comfortable streamline belts are made from recycled plastic bottles. More importantly, they are geared for anyone living a healthy lifestyle who wants to keep their pants from falling down. Jelt belts are manufactured in the women’s prison in Billings, Montana through the Montana Correctional Enterprise Program. Jelt interviews, trains and encourages women, giving them the self esteem, skill, and motivation to lead better lives once released. Jen’s company gives back and donates proceeds to youth programs, veterans, and the environment. This company makes me want to be a better person. When you buy a Jelt belt you make a difference.
Wearing my Jelt Belt to keep my chef jumper in its rightful place, I just mixed up an amazingly flavorful, and nourishing satay made with Moxie Nosh Almond butter. Moxie Nosh is local nut butter company located in Missoula, Montana dedicated to healthy eating. Her products are free of added sugar, hydrogenated oils, preservatives, gluten and dairy. Ambassador and mom, Caitlin Atkinson, was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and set out to create a nut butter that was filled with only the best ingredients to nourish her family and feed her PBJ addiction. Not wanting to give up her favorite food group, she went out and created Moxie Nosh and replaced store-bought for homemade blends of Almond, cashew, and peanut butter. This idea brought her creations to local farmers markets and now into my kitchen. Another Mom with a simple goal and making a difference in the food world.
I am honored to partner with these supermoms and their outstanding companies to create this special recipe.
Cheers to ALL the moms doing good and making the world a better place right here in Montana.
