And that’s a wrap on our newest favorite tradition.

Thank you for being part of this season, for supporting what we do, and for helping turn these dinners into something far more meaningful than we ever imagined.

What started as an idea became evenings filled with good food, familiar faces, new friendships, and a true sense of community.

We’re so grateful you were part of it, and we already can’t wait for what’s next.

If you attended one of our dinners this season, we’d love to see it through your eyes. Tag us in your photos or share your favorite memories with us so we can look back on this season together.

Anyone else have these thoughts or just me?

Let’s make French bread pizza! 🍕

I’m no chef, and I’m definitely not as skilled in the kitchen as some of my foodie friends, but I do love jumping in and messing around. I’ve picked up a few tricks and recipes along the way, and French bread pizza is one of those simple, go-to dishes that’s easy to make but still delivers. You can also take it up a notch by getting creative and using quality ingredients. The real stars here are the Opera Sauce Sicilian Marinara and some fresh bread from the bakery. 🤌

I start by slicing the French bread in half, then brushing it with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkling on a little oregano. Next comes a generous layer of OS marinara, followed by a few slices of pepperoni. For the cheese, I went with Tillamook mozzarella this time, though I’ve used fresh mozzarella and ricotta in the past with great results. I finish it off with a couple more slices of pepperoni on top, and it’s ready for the oven.

Bake at 425°F and keep an eye on it, I like mine crispy with a little crunch! 🔥

Simple. Delicious. Done.
Bon appétit! 😄

~P R E S E N C E~
A retreat created for the woman who’s been holding it all—quietly.

Who’s ready to lay it down.
To reconnect with God.
To soften into her body.
To feel safe enough to receive.

This Labor Day weekend, we’re gathering in the sacred woods of Hocking Hills for a 3-day experience of breath, fascia, stillness, language, and presence.

You’ll be guided by women who have lived this work—who have moved through pressure and pain, and come home to peace.

You’ll leave with practices you can carry into everyday life:
💫 Fascial movement to lighten the body
💫 Language awareness to shift limiting beliefs
💫 Breathwork to calm the nervous system
💫 Space to feel… and to be held

Spots are limited, and your $300 deposit is due June 15 to reserve your place.
We would love to hold space for you.

DM us to learn more or reserve your spot.

🤍

Let’s be honest who doesn’t love pizza? With so many delicious styles to choose from New York, deep dish, tavern-style, Neapolitan, Detroit, Sicilian, and more! There’s truly something for everyone. Around here, the Bears tend to gravitate toward New York and tavern-style pies, we’ve got a soft spot for that thin, crispy crust! But don’t get us wrong, we’re always up for trying something new.

Now it’s your turn, foodie fam! Drop your favorite pizza style in the comments, we want to hear what you’re loving! 🐻🍕
