Free and Simple Foods

For almost 8 years, I didn't eat hummus.
Not because I didn't love it, but because traditional hummus is made with tahini, and it's an ingredient my body just doesn't tolerate.

So my mom and I set out to create a version that I could enjoy.
After some experimenting, we came up with this tahini-free hummus, and let me tell you... that first bite after all those years was worth the wait.

One of the best things about this recipe is that it's completely customizable. Think of the measurements as your starting point; you can always add a little more lemon for brightness, more garlic for extra flavor, or another pinch of salt until it's just right for you.
And of course, it’s even better paired with Free and Simple Foods crackers! 🧡 The creamy hummus with our crunchy, grain-free crackers makes the perfect snack, appetizer, or addition to a charcuterie board.

Recipes don't have to be complicated to be delicious. Sometimes, a few simple ingredients and a little creativity are all it takes to bring back a favorite.

If you give it a try, I'd love to hear what you think or what you paired it with! 🫶

Some places are more than just a store… they’re part of your story. 💚

I’m so excited (and honestly a little emotional) to share that Free and Simple Foods is now available at The Alternative Health Care Center of Grosse Pointe Woods!

This one is extra special because Grosse Pointe Woods is where I grew up, and the Alternative Health Care Center is the very place where my family and I go for our own health and wellness care. To now have our crackers and granola sitting on their shelves feels like such a full-circle moment.

When I started Free and Simple Foods, my goal was simple: create snacks made with clean, simple ingredients that everyone can enjoy, whether you’re focused on gut health, reading labels, managing food sensitivities, or just looking for a better-tasting snack.

Having our products available in a place that has been part of my family’s wellness journey is truly meaningful.

Thank you to the team at Alternative Health Care Center for supporting local, small businesses and welcoming Free and Simple Foods into your community. 💚

If you’re in Grosse Pointe Woods, stop in and check them out, and grab your favorite crackers or granola while you’re there!

Some people call it luck... I call it a blessing. ❤️

One of the greatest gifts that has come from my journey with Free and Simple Foods has been the incredible people I've met along the way.

After completing our project together, this amazing team from the University of Michigan Ross School of Business chose to continue supporting Free and Simple Foods as my advisory board. I honestly couldn't be more honored, grateful, or excited.

To know that five incredibly talented individuals believe in what I'm building enough to continue investing their time, ideas, and expertise means more than I can put into words.

I'm especially grateful to Len Middleton for bringing us together and for joining our meeting. Thank you, Len, for your continued encouragement and belief in both me and Free and Simple Foods.

To my "Dream Team", thank you for believing in this vision. I can't wait to continue building the future of Free and Simple Foods together.

Feeling incredibly blessed. ❤️

✨ Another airport, another milestone.
Because of the success of Free and Simple Foods at Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW), we're excited to announce that we've expanded into MEEL at Nashville International Airport (BNA)! 🎉
You can now find our Rosemary and Sea Salt Crackers in Concourse C near Gate C14.
As a small, founder-owned business, opportunities like this don't happen by chance. They happen because customers continue to choose our products, and partners believe in what we're building.
I'm especially excited because MEEL's focus on premium, thoughtfully curated products aligns so well with our mission of creating snacks made with clean, simple ingredients that taste incredible.
If you're traveling through BNA, stop by MEEL, grab a bag, and if you spot us on the shelf, I'd love it if you'd snap a photo and tag . Seeing our products in airports across the country never gets old. ❤️
Thank you to everyone who has supported this journey. Here's to continued growth and many more airports to come! ✈️
