Kitchen House

History

I am a native Texan, and have lived all my life in the Greater Austin area. Professionally, my career as a registered dietitian and nutritionist, did not begin by teaching cooking classes, but it has always been kid-nutrition focused. I first began by educating parents of infants and preschoolers about the importance of nutrition in even the youngest of children. Through my work, I fostered good nutrition awareness in various communities in central Texas. My focus shifted to children of all ages, as my own children grew. My daughter is now 8 years old, and my son is 5. Both are full time students and take their lunches to school everyday.

Specialties

I developed Kids Kitchen to educate, encourage, and excite families about getting their own kids into the kitchen to create a love of cooking healthy foods. I am a firm believer that teaching kids about what foods are good for us and why, and enabling them to create recipes on their own will have a positive impact on their life-long eating habits. Start right, stay right! If we empower them to choose healthy foods at a very young age, then, as they become independent, they will make healthier food choices for fueling their bodies with. Your child will be excited about foods you never thought they would try! I look forward to sharing my cooking class stories and recipes with you, as well as the recipes we try at home.
