Our Journey

Food is my love language!

Born from a path to self discovery and a journey to better wellness in 2019, I originally started the “Get It Gabrielle” platform on Instagram to be transparent, share healthy food ideas, workout and seek accountability support on the road to drop a few pounds after becoming a first time mom. It was simple. I told myself it was time to get it done, get it out the mud, ‘Get It Gabrielle.’ I would tell myself regardless of the obstacle that I could get past it. “Get it” became an all encompassing mantra of sorts for me. Little did I know the journey was so much more than I thought. Starting on that path brought me such community and allowed me to share and tap deeper into something I’d always been truly passionate about - FOOD!

I’m a foodie at heart and it’s rooted from deep within. I was born in Nassau, Bahamas and adopted by my amazing mother who brought me to Louisiana and raised me with the very best down home southern traditional values of any Louisiana girl you can imagine. I have fond memories of helping my grandfather in his vegetable garden and my grandmother in her kitchen after school while my mom was at work. I remember taking in the sights of south Louisiana and beyond with my family and cousins on the weekends. The rich culture just permeates into everything and it goes without saying that you’re not going anywhere without eating something delicious.

All of that rich heritage and love poured into me through my family and loved ones is part of the reason food is my love language. And I use “Get It Gabrielle” to share that with each of you. I hope that in the pages of this site you find encouragement to try a new recipe, find a new spin on an old classic recipe and that you share it with someone you love.

I hope the meal you create brings you together in love and laughter as they have from my family to yours.
