Teri Turner - No Crumbs Left

Teri Turner has built her No Crumbs Left food, recipe and lifestyle blog from what started out as an Instagram profile into one of the top food blogs. She now has close to a million followers on Instagram and 10 million plus views per month on Pinterest.

How did Teri choose the name No Crumbs Left?

I love the name especially as I am a no crumbs left kind of a person: every crumb and drop of food on my plate gets eaten. It was Teri‘s youngest daughter Lucy who came up with the name and it's been a winner.

Teri’s cooking style

Teri says "it’s good to follow a recipe but best to know how to cook". She’s had a lifelong passion for cooking and an innate sense of cooking techniques but she says anyone can become a great cook. It’s a question of following proven techniques and practicing.

Classic cooking techniques 

Teri cooks with basic tools so no Instapot, slow cooker or other shortcut equipment. She says there are plenty of people with websites that focus on equipment like the Instapot but her style is classic and she prefers to use her basic tools and techniques.

Teri cooks by the season

Teri cooks by the season so when figs and tomatoes are in season she features them regularly in her recipes. She also feels strongly about supporting farmers and growers. She says that if you’re buying a tomato or a fig out of season it’s only available because it’s been shipped from far away and suggests that it’s best, when possible, to incorporate ingredients in recipes that are grown locally.

Try this simple and delicious recipe with seasonal tomatoes: Pan-Seared Sea Bass with Seared Tomatoes and Chickpeas.

Figs are delicious so many ways especially Oven Roasted Figs with Gorgonzola and Walnuts.

Teri‘s Instagram stories

I found Teri on Instagram when I saw one of her stories that featured figs. All of her stories are long and anyone who watches them can replicate her recipes because they are thorough and detailed.

Teri Turner, No Crumbs Left brand partnerships

The brands Teri works with reflect products she loves and uses and that fits with her culinary and lifestyle vision.
She uses some ready-made food products like La Terra Fina dip. Teri says her readers don’t always have time to make every single ingredient by hand so she shows viewers how products like La Terra Fina can be incorporated into some of her great recipes.
Teri especially loves Spindrift sparkling water that's made using all kinds of different fruit juices.
Made-in knives and cookware are another of Teri‘s favorites she swears by and uses all the time.

Teri Turner, No Crumbs Left ceramics

A few years back Teri was looking for the perfect ceramic bowl for her marinated onions and just couldn’t find one. They were either too short or too tall, or too wide or in one way or another just not right. She approached a ceramicist who created just the right bowl for her and that was the springboard for the creation of the No Crumbs Left ceramics line. Each and every piece has a lucky symbol on the base: it could be Teri's lucky number 48, or a rooster which represents her mom, a horse shoe or another symbol. Check out the No Crumbs Left Marinated Red Onion Bowls.

Teri’s dietary choices

Teri focuses on foods that feel best for her body, and on portion control.

Gluten-free

For over five years Teri has been gluten-free as she’s found that gluten, and also dairy products, don’t sit well with her body. She loves a vegetable and fruit rich diet, along with some lean meats and fish.

Whole 30

The Whole 30 diet program is a diet for life rather than simply a weight loss diet. It focuses on the foods that work best for Teri. With the Whole 30 program Teri's been able to shed a few extra unwanted pounds. Here are some of Teri's own Magic Elixirs she uses for the Whole 30 program.

I asked Teri what advice she'd give to women and her advice is simple and straightforward: be yourself. If you have an online business focus on creating interesting content and don’t worry about numbers, but instead on the joy what you're doing brings to you. Make a point of engaging with everyone and answer every single comment and question.
And bottom line: create a seat at the table for everyone you encounter in your life.
