Teri Turner

Life is a journey. And so is every recipe. For Teri Turner, the two are intertwined. Teri started a new chapter in her life journey by sharing pictures of her home-cooked meals on Instagram. Those pictures soon became a blog called No Crumbs Left, which led to the creation of her Whole30-approved cookbook of the same name. In this episode, Neil and Teri talk about the journey from her lemonade stand to successful entrepreneurship. Teri shares her love of bringing food from the farmer's market to the table and for the family and friends that supported her along the way. With more than a million followers on social media, a book, her podcast No Crumbs Left Table Talk, and the ongoing growth of her bustling, tasty business, Teri's journey is worth a listen.Links:
