I am teaching an after school class called “Sprouting Healthy Kids” with Austin’s Sustainable Food Center. Our goal is to help pave the way for students to develop a life-long relationship with clean, local, & sustainable food.

Another great day of food and learning. We watched “Gregory the Terrible Eater” from Reading Rainbow–Awesome throwback for me! Then had a class discussion on how to not be a fussy eater. We revisited the 5 food groups that we all need to incorporate into a daily diet. We played a game where we rolled […]
This was week two of cooking up goodness for an incredible family. They have adopted me into their home to come once a week and make several meals as well as put several “kits” together–so they can cook a night or two too. They get a CSA box and I love being able to make on-the-spot […]
During this week’s Nourishing Kid’s Class we learned about the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s MyPlate initiative.

We started off with a quick video that […]
