Mr Picky just came back from 20 days backpacking out in the middle of nowhere with his class and I could not be more excited to have him home.  He requested branzino, roasted cauliflower, roasted asparagus, and grilled artichokes.  Done!  

I have had so many questions recently about when I will resume in-person cooking classes, and unfortunately, I will not be teaching in-person until at least 2023 and even then it will be special occasion classes, not monthly.  There’s no better time than now to join my monthly online cooking classes. They’re great and the same format as my in-person classes.  There are different subscription options, including one where you have access to the ENTIRE library of classes.  It’s a great value and I promise you will learn how to be a better cook! Here’s your dinner planner for the week: Continue reading

It is probably your last opportunity to take a bootcamp live with me!  I am repeating two very popular bootcamps, Back to Basics AND Meal Planning | Meal Prepping | Batch Cooking, at a time that I think is perfect.  Summer is more relaxed; people may be traveling, but there are fewer commitments, especially for kids. If you know someone who is graduating from college or getting married, either of these bootcamps would be the perfect way to start learning how to cook more at home. If YOU are still struggling cooking at home and not quite feeling your best, take my classes and let me help you! You do NOT have to attend the the classes live, but I do answer questions live during the class and have a supplemental live Q&A session immediately following which is a really valuable perk to taking the classes live. For my community, I want to share a $100 discount on both courses.  Use BB100 for the Basics course and MEAL100 for the Meal Prep course.  There are payment plans available too!  Here’s your dinner planner for the week: Continue reading

I am offering two bootcamps live next month and they are PERFECT for new cooks, college graduates, and newlyweds especially!  Back to Basics and Meal Planning| Meal Prep are both starting live the week of May 31.  You can OF COURSE watch self-paced on your own time with no expiration date, but many people like the live Q&A feature so they can interact with me and ask specific questions.  The format is a zoom WEBINAR, which means no one sees or hears you, so you can watch in your PJ’s or your birthday suit!  If you would like to gift someone one of my bootcamps, please email Erika pamelasassistant@gmail.com and she’ll help you out!  For my online community, I always offer a $100 discount. Use code BB100 for the Basics course and MEAL100 for the Meal Prep course.  These are both life-changing courses and will 100% get anyone to be a better, more confident cook and more organized and streamlined in the kitchen!

Lots of fun this week, friends!  First of all, this is probably your last chance to take a bootcamp live with me!  This week I am repeating two fantastic bootcamps that you do not want to miss – Raising Healthy Eaters and Entertaining with Ease!

I am also excited to eat all the Mexican food I can handle on Cinco de Mayo and I am hoping Hubs and my son make me something delicious and healthy on Mother’s Day!  Here’s your dinner planner for the week: Continue reading

Big news!  I am bringing back two of my best bootcamps beginning the first week in May – Entertaining with Ease and Raising Healthy Eaters!!  I am probably not going to be offering bootcamps live again for the foreseeable future, so if you enjoy the one-on-one attention from taking the bootcamps with me and the support from the group, do not hesitate to take either or both of these! Both of these bootcamps will take the ANXIETY out of both entertaining at home and feeding your kids.  I promise, you will feel lighter, less stressed, and you will actually have a total attitude shift after these bootcamps.  I’m offering $100 off with coupon code EWE100 for Entertaining with Ease and code KIDS100 for Raising Healthy Eaters. Can’t wait to see you in class! Here’s your dinner planner for the week:
