"I am a registered dietitian, certified diabetes care and education specialist and chef.

My world revolves around food, cooking, and eating.

Teaching people how to cook with the basics is to know the hidden knowledge behind making a tender roast with delicious gravy and savory spaghetti sauce with noodles cooked perfectly. If you are feeling overwhelmed, meet with me to help!

To make our cooking session most beneficial, there are options available. Not only we can use Wyzant video conferencing on the laptop to discuss our session but also can add Microsoft Teams or Zoom on the phone so that I can be involved with you in your kitchen for hands on learning. We can discuss which way works best for you to learn how to begin grocery shopping, menu planning, and cooking for upcoming meals.

An opportunity to earn a 2-year culinary arts school degree from the best learning environment ever for cooking with the highest quality ingredients, equipment, and chef instructors. My 4-year dietetics degree complements my cooking degree. This education enabled me to experience all aspects of food and beverages in the culinary world of pastry, bakery, entrees, and side dishes. Putting my knowledge to work in many restaurants as a breakfast, lunch, and dinner cook, enjoying food, drink, and the atmosphere.

Frequently cooking at home using only the freshest ingredients hand-chosen by me and then home to create a homemade soup, jazzing up a frozen pizza or baked chicken. With many recipe books to choose from, following the recipe accurately and then tweaking it to make it even better! Being an old-fashioned cook, I never use a microwave except for reheating.

Have completed television cooking segments on Good Morning Arizona and written culinary and nutrition articles.

I help students pass the Dietary Managers Certification Test (CDM) and Certified Food Protection Professional Exam (CFPP). Will require pertinent information (study material) before meeting to best meet your needs." less...
