This weekend my wife and I took a trip to see my mother, and in typical Hallmark fashion she had a stack of photos to show Jenny of me from over the years and in so many of them I'm at work or in a chef coat!
You might just see a younger, more handsome Chef Lance😄, but what I saw was a young me that was absolutely CLUELESS to the amazing things in store for him. If I could go back in time and have a conversation with younger me, I'd probably say things like:
"Hang in there"
"It will all work out"
"It will all be worth it someday"
"Pay attention, you're going to need to remember some of these life lessons"
"And if all else fails, just add butter!"
All the ups and downs, struggles, long hours and lessons throughout the years were all preparing for me for a dream I didn't even know I had at the time. The one constant is the Chef Lance from 1995 and the Chef Lance from 2026 always did and STILL loves cooking for you! ❤️
