Healthy Cooking 101: Mediterranean Style

Friday evening, I hosted my second Healthy Cooking 101 class at Chuck's Produce. I took my guests on a culinary trip to the Mediterranean: Organic chicken breast with a unique blend of seasonings -- cumin and cinnamon, kalamata olives, grape tomatoes, feta cheese, atop crisp red leaf lettuce served with a choice of freshly prepared lemon vinagrette or hummus.

A great group of folks and good food made for a delicious time!  Thanks to everyone for coming out and to my dear friend, Jamie for the wonderful photos. Here's a peek at some of the pics (See more on FB). Enjoy.





Details about October classes coming soon...

A Good Meal is Better Shared

Enjoying a healthy lunch together. Good times.
A healthy fresh meal is an allusive idea to some, but it doesn’t have to be. With a little planning and some simple preparation you can indulge in healthy.

Healthy Cooking 101 classes were conceived of based on feedback from many of my followers on my blog and Facebook. The common thread seemed to be many people are searching for quick, easy, healthy meal ideas. Some folks lack the know-how, and others may simply need a tune-up with kitchen techniques. With a little guidance you too can make delicious, healthy meals.

Fresh, healthy, flavorful Mediterranean cuisine was featured in yesterday’s Healthy Cooking 101 class. Coming together to prepare the food and enjoy it together made the experience more pleasurable. As we diced, chopped, talked, and laughed the meal came together almost effortlessly. In less than 45 minutes we were seated with a healthy, delicious, well-balanced meal. As we were eating, I noticed the food honestly tasted much better than we I made it alone and ate it alone. Here’s what the gals have to say about the experience:

“The food was amazing and the company even better! Thank you.”


“Thanks for a delicious lunch that I don't feel like I need to do "penance" at the gym for. You really do have a talent.”


“Wow! Amazing food and fun ambiance. I really enjoyed this. Thanks Mamacita.”

The Obesity Epidemic is REAL!

The evidence of an epidemic is everywhere.

overweight or obese.

· Obesity-related diseases are a $147 billion dollar
medical burden every year.

· Childhood obesity has tripled in the last thirty years
