FOOD STUFFS!

If you loved what you ate on Saturday there’s more where that came from…both because we still have a tray of those peanut butter things that needs to get eaten (you know, BEFORE I EAT IT ALL BY MYSELF) and because Heather teaches cooking classes! If you’ve got no idea what to do with anything that grows I HIGHLY recommend your stopping in on a class with her. She knows her stuff and loves what she does and if you go, I’ll gladly come with as I pretty much enjoy eating other people’s food as much as possible. Ahem. Anyway…

Heather is also highly qualified to walk anyone you might know (or yourself!) through a change in nutritional lifestyles. If you know someone who could use a little help in the fight against obesity – she’s your chef! She specializes in working with each individual she meets to find a way of approaching diet that works best for them.
AND she’s been kind enough to pass along the recipes for what she cooked up for us on Saturday. ENJOY!
