What a special morning! I am so grateful to Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation for their generous grant of $5,000 which will go toward supporting the establishment of the Happy Cooks Club!

🥦With this grant, we’re able to offer family-friendly food experiences at 2 Phoenix area elementary schools: Rover Elementary in Tempe and Garfield Elementary in Phoenix.

🍓Free cooking classes and tasting events will feature locally grown items, and offer simple kitchen and meal prep skills to provide kids, teens, and adults with the tools to prepare nourishing meals that are wholesome, flavorful, inexpensive and fun to make.

🍉With goals of community, inclusivity, and connection, the classes will address childhood health and wellbeing, nutrition education, and healthy living.

🌻Together, let’s plant the seeds of a healthier future for our kids and community. 🌱 Sprouts Farmers Market

🥕The Happy Cooks Club is a collaboration with myself, Maya Dailey , Kelly Hedberg , and Cindy Gentry .

🌈Congratulations also to Rover Elementary School and the Down Syndrome Network Arizona who received Sprouts Healthy Community Foundation awards for their school garden program and Down to Earth garden program!

🌱 Farm to Table Education at Maya’s Farm 🌱

🌻Last week I had the opportunity to collaborate with a group of change-makers, food activists and educators in our community to create a holistic field trip experience for 5th graders.

🐝Students explored the farm and enjoyed hands-on workshops including:
🌼 Making seed bombs with
🌽 Crafting plantable cempoalxochitl seed paper with
💜 Heart journaling
🍊 Citrus squeezing with
🦋 Sound healing & Yoga with

🌈At our table, we made Eat the Rainbow Wraps! First, we picked our rainbow swiss chard or collard green ‘tortillas’ and filled our harvest baskets with colorful veggies, edible flowers and fresh herbs. Next we stuffed our green wraps with hummus and as many colors of the rainbow as we could find. Nasturtiums added a fiery color and a peppery flavor!

🌎 It was a day filled with sunshine, creativity, delicious fresh food and connection to the earth. Looking forward to more holistic edible education field trips like this !

🐝UPDATE!

🌱After two transformative years since closing Pomegranate Café, I am overjoyed to share that I am now a Holistic Nutrition Coach and have joined the heart-centered Akerson Holistic Healthcare team !

🍓As a plant-forward chef with a big appetite for delicious, wholesome, homemade, locally grown food, I have spent over 20 years exploring the connection between food, well-being, community, and the planet. From running Pomegranate Café to working as a holistic private chef creating personalized culinary nutrition plans and preparing nourishing food for individuals with a variety of chronic health conditions, I have witnessed the healing power of whole foods.

🌈Now, I’m here to help YOU make mindful, nourishing food choices that align with your health goals and values.

💜Whether your goal is to improve overall wellness, manage specific health conditions, or deepen your connection with the food you eat, I am here to guide you on your heart-centered journey.

🥕What I offer:
• Personalized Holistic Nutrition Coaching

• Support for Chronic Health Conditions
• Nutrient-Dense, Simple & Delicious Recipes
• Joyful, Mindful Eating

🌱In collaboration with Dr. Heather Akerson and the Akerson Holistic Healthcare Team, I will help you uncover the root causes of your health concerns, not just treat the symptoms.

🍒A little about my approach: While I emphasize a plant-centered approach, you don’t need to be vegan to work with me! I do not focus on food restrictions, fad diets, or calorie counting. I want to help you feel good about the food you eat—every step of the way.
