    As a mother of four/coach/queen of the last minute food prep, I am always asked for healthy recipes. To be honest, when I cook, I rarely measure. I love to cook (and teach) by intuition. Begrudgingly (and since this is more about you than me), I have provided some actual recipes; think of them as guides. I hope you join me for some intuitive cooking sessions (available by request) to learn how to PLAY with your FOOD and put the FUN in cooking! In the meantime, check out the categories below. Bon appetit!
    Warmly,
