Real Food for Real Life

Real Life Delicious is about feeding your family real food that is delicious and good for you. It’s also about real life — you know, things like traffic jams, conference calls, towering stacks of homework, baseball practice, and some seriously picky eaters. There are a million good reasons not to cook dinner tonight. My kitchen-consulting programs are designed to help you reboot your family’s eating habits in a practical, painless, real life way.

I offer in-home kitchen consulting in two basic formats: one-on-one private sessions and small group classes in and around Denver, Colorado. These programs are fun and super informative. The results can truly be life changing.

• If the idea of making dinner for your family feels like a weight on your shoulders, I will teach you some skills to help reduce stress and anxiety around meal planning, shopping, and cooking.
• If you’re kids are picky eaters (and whose aren’t?), I have many strategies for helping children get into food and start appreciating and, yes, enjoying a variety of healthy, real foods.
• If you’re confused by too much food-related information, such as good fats vs. bad fats, artificial sweeteners, organics, GMOs, and growth hormones, I will clarify what’s relevant to your life and your family.
• If you’ve never liked to cook, I enthusiastically want to share with you how easy and fun it can be.
• If you hate grocery shopping — too many choices and not enough time — I can guide you through the supermarket and show you how to avoid becoming overwhelmed, or broke.

Private Kitchen Consultations

These one-on-one half-day sessions in your own kitchen are fully customized to your family’s eating habits, tastes, food restrictions, and schedule.

I call these “kitchen makeovers” because they can completely transform your life in the kitchen. The benefits of these sessions include:

• A personalized program for eliminating frustration around shopping and meal planning
• Reduced stress and anxiety in the kitchen
• Strategies for helping picky eaters learn to enjoy more foods
• New cooking skills and ideas to help you look like a pro in the kitchen
