Not all days at work are easy, but so many of them are worth it! I recently posted an Evidenced Based Practice Poster about the benefits shown from live culinary medicine styled cooking demonstrations paired with free dry goods + equipment - I saw everything from improved intake, food frequency, confidence levels around cooking on a budget-choosing lower sodium/lower fat options-changing recipes to make them healthier….all while losing weight! Amazing!

Dinner review from my client learning her InstaPot AND her child 💯

I’m pretty passionate about preventing waste when possible! I found these in an old food order and gave them away as an acidic household CLEANER!
🍋‍🟩🍋‍🟩🍋‍🟩🍋‍🟩 Lime juice smells so nice in the sink.
Are there non-toxic cleaners you recommend?

As a side note-flavoring H20 with fruit & herbs is so REFRESHING and an easy way to BOOST ANTIOXIDANTS!
I like to put in frozen berries 🍓🫐, so they melt and release additional juices 🥤
Can’t beat:
——— mint + cucumber 🥒
———- lemon + orange slices
———— basil + watermelon 🌿

I love a good visual!
Fiber-rich plant foods = VOLUME
Satisfying
Healthful
Low Calorie
…and in many cases…
Cheaper!

Research shows that one of the best strategies hinges on the concept of calorie density. Calorie density is the amount of calories in a gram of food, which is important because humans eat a consistent weight of food from day to day. Knowing this, one could surmise that by eating lots of foods that are low in calories, one could lose weight. And you can, which makes sense from an evolutionary perspective; humans have been eating mostly low-calorie fruits, leaves, tubers, and vegetables for the better part of our ancestral history.

Let me bring the food fun to you!
I made guacamole for a business meeting while sharing tips + tricks to optimize nutrition by
-getting the most nutrients from your food (ex: peeling the avocado skin off rather than scooping it out)
-making food last longer to save $
-chopping safely
-decreasing time cutting an onion! 🧅
Everyone loved sampling after and trying a new quinoa chip for dipping plus walking away with a fresh perspective on a common foods. 🥑🍅
