A Peek Inside My Cooking Class
Plus Butternut Squash and Black Bean Burger
I spent Friday night in Boston teaching my favorite cooking class at Whole Foods Market, “Cook Yourself Healthy in Under 10 Minutes” to a sold out room! We all had such a blast, ate delicious food, laughed, and celebrated healthy living.
A great space to cook in!
It is my greatest mission to debunk the theory that cooking healthy food is complicated and time consuming.
Cooking is FUNNY
Learning my method of foundation cooking (what I teach in this class) will inject you with the tools and confidence to prepare healthy delicious meals all week long in under 10 minutes.
Cookin it up!
I will be announcing my New York class dates this fall, so get ready to make your kitchen your bitch.
Close up action!
This is a recipe from the class, it was a big hit! I love the kind of recipe that satisfies on a deep level, takes a few minutes to prepare, and freezes well for an additional bonus meal on a super busy weeknight.
This burger is even great for meat lovers.
