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...

Eating Healthy Never Tasted So Good

After a long, eventful day, I decided to take a relaxing culinary trip to Nice.

This French classic is a delight! Nicoise Salad:  Wild Caught Sockeye Salmon chock-full of Omega 3 fatty acids, organic hard-boiled eggs, baby red potatoes, blanched green beans, vine ripened tomatoes, kalamata olives, served on a bed of romaine lettuce, and to bring all the flavors together drizzled with Dijon vinagrette. This salad is full of rich colors, flavors, and textures. What's more it offers a nice balance of protein, carbs, and vegetables.  

Bon Appétit.

overweight or obese.

medical burden every year.
