Let me get right to it – if you need Super Bowl ideas, go to LAST week’s dinner planner. I used to suggest what to do with your Super Bowl leftovers for the day after, but this year the day after is Valentine’s Day. In as much as I would love to turn my leftover salsa and and slow cooker chicken tacos into a soup and my crudites into a chopped salad, my family is expecting something “special.” Of course those leftovers can wait until Tuesday! Here’s your dinner planner for the week:

Last chance to join two game-changing bootcamps!  Do check out Plant-Based 2.0 if you are looking to do a deeper dive into plant-based eating and cooking.  The plant-based diet is truly the best way to eat for most people. It doesn’t mean vegan and you don’t have to give up all animal products forever.  This is my favorite course I have ever created.  Please join me and other great members of my community.  There’s no time like the present to eat and cook for better health!  Please use the code YESPB2 for $100 off and I do have payment plan options!  The other course I am starting next week is Raising Healthy Eaters. I taught this once before and my email was flooded with success stories and gratitude after this course.  Believe me, I have been there and I have also come out the other end with three healthy eaters. If you are struggling, join me next week.  You will be in good hands.  🙂 Use the code KIDS100 for $100 off the course!

Besides being really excited to see many of you in my bootcamps this week, I am also excited about the Super Bowl and ALL. THE. SNACKS.  Here’s your dinner planner for the week:

Brrrrrrr!!!!!  It’s cold EVERYWHERE except where I live in southern California and also the tip of southern Florida.  Hoping you stay safe and warm, wherever you are.  Whatever you choose to eat, focus on warming foods, not cooling foods.  In a nutshell, eat what is in season, eat warm and hot foods, not cold, raw foods.  Cooked vegetables, soups and stews, lean proteins are all good.  Summer fruits, raw salads, cold smoothies and drinks are all going to cool you down.

Some news! I am repeating my Plant-based 2.0 (my more advanced plant-based course and my favorite of all my bootcamps) and my very successful Raising Healthy Eaters course both beginning the week of February 7th!  I will not be repeating these until the fall, if at all in 2022, so take advantage now if you have any interest at all.  You will not be disappointed in either bootcamp!  Please click on the links above to learn more.  As always, for my community members, I offer a discount and there are also payment plans available. For $100 off the bootcamps, use the code YESPB2 for the Plant-based 2.0 course and KIDS100 for the Healthy Eaters course.  Here’s your dinner planner for the week: Continue reading

Happy weekend!  For my monthly online cooking class subscribers, get your questions ready – I’ll be doing our live monthly Q&A via zoom on Tuesday at 5:00 pm PT.  For anyone curious about the monthly cooking class, I teach a brand new menu with 5 recipes each month.  The class is prerecorded and edited and you can watch on your own time.  I have a live zoom Q&A session for questions every month, plus there is an optional private Facebook page to interact with me and other students.  I am not teaching any in-person classes, friends, so this is IT + my bootcamps. I have provided a new option for monthly students which I call an All-Access Pass and while you are an active subscriber, you have access to the entire library of classes and recipes.  That is several years worth!  Teaching is my business, so if you want to learn how to be a better, more healthful cook, you’ll be in good hands.  Here’s your dinner planner for the week: Continue reading
