About me
I have spent the past ten years working with special needs adults in the New Haven, CT area that are part of the Chapel Haven School and community. I teach them how to cook and create healthy delicious foods in cooking classes and one on one in their homes. I love sharing with my clients and students my love of cooking and how good food can make such a difference in your health and happiness. It is so rewarding to see them gain confidence in the kitchen and see their pride in making wonderful meals for themselves that they can enjoy.
RECIPES
Featured recipes
The recipes on this site are used in my classes and with my clients when we cook together. They are inspired by meals they enjoy and are tweaked to make them healthier. Check back here regularly for new dishes to try!
These recipes are my take on traditional meals, tweaked a bit to make them simple and healthier, but taste is always a big concern as well. You won’t find much kale on here- my philosophy is to make food you will enjoy eating even though it is healthy, not food you have to eat because it is healthy!
I usually add some healthy tips, along with some shortcuts and substitutes so you can make the meal your own and hopefully teach you some tricks for making foods you enjoy in a healthier way.

Since I started this journey back in 2006, much has changed. Doctors are now starting to acknowledge that your diet is important and improving it can improve your health. More studies have come out showing just how much a difference eating well can contribute to living well.
Yet we are constantly hearing “this is good for us”, or “that is bad for you”. And one food can be good one year and bad the next. I will include information I feel will help you in making better choices and changes, and give you tools to make those changes a little easier.
