About Me

My interest in the connection between health and food was sparked when I saw my father successfully manage high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, and borderline diabetes through diet and exercise. I learned as Hippocrates instructed, “let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”. I took that knowledge with me when I served an Agricultural Peace Corps Volunteer in Paraguay, establishing a sustainable project which improved family nutrition and women's financial independence.  As a new mom, I held Cook Days at my home to teach my girlfriends new recipes.  I'd send out an email with the recipe and the ingredient list and my friends would bring their children over and we'd cook all day.  The kids would play outside, the mamas would cook and take home a dish for dinner.  That way, the husbands couldn't say "you spent all day with your girlfriends, and there's nothing to eat." The food was so delicious that soon the husbands were asking "When are you having another Cook Day?"
