Hello & Welcome to The Holy Food Co.

This is the online home of our Family and the most stable home we currently have.

Since 2020 we’ve had to live a rather uncomfortable and very complicated life, because the law in our home country France, suddenly changed. We used to be able to home school our children in freedom, faith & peace from the comfort of our own home. Then one day during the “pandemic” the president suddenly decided “no more freedom!”. He literally said “Our children should be protected from religion” so that was it. That was the end of home schooling in France and unsupervised private school curriculums were banned, many small and private schools were shut down and one could say that this unconstitutional act, in some way suggest that children of France belongs the state now and so does the curriculums that they are supposed to learn!

When your entire life is turned upside down like that in a split second, and you find yourself as a parent who definitely do not wish to comply or accept that the state suddenly believes that your children belongs to something as Godforsaken as the system.

Then there is no way around it, it’s time to leave. So we have had to leave our homes behind most of the year ever since. Traveling around, not because we wanted to but because parents like us who didn’t want to comply and who stayed rooted in France, have faced prosecution, they have experienced law enforcement knocking on their doors several times a month, they have experienced having their kids taken away by social services. To top up the “superiority” of the state, parents are even sent to prison for 6 months – 2 years if they stay firm in their beliefs. The state even hand out fines of up to 50,000 euros on top of that.

So the punishment of disobedience for middleclass families, who believe they actually have the right to decide certain things for themselves is either, to be a nomad or to go to jail! That is Freedom for ya in modern France!!!

What a “lovely” place Europe has turned into, a communist place, where faith is frowned upon and even seen as a enemy of the state. This law was supposedly made to remove Islamist school collectives and as a prevention for terror. However, let’s face it, I literally don’t know any Muslim families that home school, most who home school in our part of the world are either Freedom loving families or Christian families (not that Christians can’t be seen as freedom loving, since that must be the essence of Christianity, loving the Prince of Freedom aka Jesus Christ). Somehow this law mostly affects Christians, since it is mostly Christian parents that home school their children in France and it is the same in many other EU countries.

The past 5 years we have been forced to leave our homes in France behind and travel 6-9 months a year, because of this home schooling ban. Some people don’t seem to understand why? It’s so lovely in France, right? Why don’t you just put your children in school then?

Life must be easy for those who always obey the state.

However, we don’t believe this is right for our family, we want the freedom to home school and we know that this is the only right thing for our family, we have never put our children in private or public institutions and we don’t want to do that either. The schools here are forced to follow state curriculums, because the state wants all kids to follow their line, to know their woke story as truth, to abolish faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and only trust in idolatry, there is no space for individual learning curves and no actual freedom in this.

So no, we can’t just put our children in school, that is not how we live and if we should be able to call ourselves citizens of a free country, we should at least be able to decide how we want to live as a family, right?

We do not believe in this newfound culture of separation, that has been promoted by the state since the early 20th century. Do whatever you find right for you and your family and accept that others might choose differently. We just know that this modern way of life doesn’t suit us.

This legislative change happened shortly after we bought our two family homes, as in only a few months after. Every day I pray to the Lord to help us find a home and a life somewhere else in this world. A place where we would be allowed to live the life we wish to live, all year round.

But, we want to follow the plan of the Lord, so we will follow his lead and if that means never having a steady home, then that must be it…

However, it has become very difficult for us to live this way, we naturally miss a stable Home, as well as a Church Home and a Community that believes in personal freedom and who’s anchored in Christ, none of this is possible to have in Europe.

Europe has changed and stakeholder communism thrives here. It is impossible for us to find a new life here, believe me we’ve tried for years, but Europe is not pro freedom, it is pro digital control, surveillance and Super-pro a Godless culture.

So, we keep praying for a miracle to happen.

This nomadic reality of ours is stressful, heart breaking, isolating and extremely economically destructive.

Living like we do, makes it very difficult to make and earn a good living and to create real things, so we need help from the Lord and from the people that he sends to help us and we acknowledge that.

This is our very real sob story, it is our worldly reality and our daily struggle. Yet another reason why I enjoy writing this blog. Simply because it gives me at least one place where I can get some stability in our very unstable worldly life, even though I do know that the only true stability is found in our Lord, Christ Jesus.

Ever since I was born, I have been creative. This has been obvious through my sense for aesthetics and my work in the following fields: Styling, fashion, beauty, design, branding, art, photography, baking and cooking.

However, I have spent the last decade home schooling our children as well as developing a ton of recipes. “Real food” recipes, I have pretty much converted any dish I ever knew and made them into “from scratch” versions, without using refined food/additives/pre-fab products.

Even though we have a very stressful life “travel/creation/money/soul wise” we still make 97% of what we eat ourselves, from scratch. So yes, I am the type who brings my einkorn sourdough, in our suitcase on a trip to the States and share it with sweet and new friends, whenever possible.

I write our blog and develop the recipes you find here myself. However, it is important for me to point out, that I only do this, because God helps me with it. Without God I am nothing and it is a good thing to remember, even if you happen to believe otherwise. It gives me great peace of mind that I do not have to take too much credit for things, because I do not need it. My identity does not lie in my ego nor in my worldly pursuits, or the indoctrinated brands I could give myself as (a wife, mother, stylist, baker, chef, photographer, blogger, home schooler etc.), my identity is in Christ and having come to that conclusion, has saved me from a lot of trouble that would’ve made my life even more difficult than it already is.

If you aren’t a Christian, then you’re just as welcome here, but you must accept that I share my love for Jesus, who is the only way to salvation! He helps me every day to create recipes, products and stories that make other people happy. He gives me thousands of ideas, creates miracles for my family and saves us time and time again. But most importantly, he gives me a serene peace, in the midst of worldly chaos.

So give Thanks to Jesus if you are grateful for something I have created, shared or done for you.

And if you want to bless our blog, you can always send us a cup of coco, right here!

Thanks for stopping by & have a blessed day!

Much Love in Christ

P.S. You might wonder, why we call it The Holy Food Co. Well… It was actually our 4 year old daughter who came up with the name, during our last trip to the states, we usually shopped our groceries at Whole Foods. One day when we had to go shopping our daughter said “are we going to Holy Foods mom?” and she just kept calling it Holy Foods ever since, so when I had to translate my Danish blog to this one, we decided to call it The Holy Food Co., not because we are making holy foods, but because it was too cute to miss out on!
