Last night I finished teaching a six week class on Healthy
Cooking for the Community Education program of our school district. It was

truly cook in a healthy way your weight will naturally find its way to a
healthy number that works for your body.
Healthy cooking is not about using “light” ingredients. It’s
about using real ingredients –the kind that heal and grow your body. Many times
these ingredients are anything but light.

contrary, it means exploring all kinds of taste sensations. It means cooking
fabulous food that you LOVE to eat.
