    Kooi Housewares - An Invitation to talk with the social media manager with a Kitchen store!

    I first met Rachel when I noticed her social media posts for a new kitchen store in town (Muskegon, Michigan) and had to stop by the store! They had a teaching space and I knew this was where I was meant to bring my love of teaching cooking to. Rachel Cramblet is the social media manager for Kooi Housewares and she brings SO much more to the table. We get into some specifics on products, how to be in the know with the most up to date sales (hello, holidays are coming!) and what some of her favorite kitchen gadgets are. Hope you enjoy this episode!

    How to Read a Recipe with a Culinary Dietitian

    How to Read a Recipe with a Culinary Dietitian

    I've been teaching people how to cook for over 10 years and one thing I've noticed is that we often forget to teach the first and most important step...reading recipes.
    As beginner home cooks, navigating and interpreting cooking instructions, adjusting and making substitutions if necessary are vital skills in the kitchen. In this episode, I’ll outline all of the things to consider when reading a recipe and interpreting the directions, ingredients, etc.

    Cooking and Nutrition Counseling with Amy Lawson

    Cooking and Nutrition Counseling with Amy Lawson

    In today’s episode I interview a fellow dietitian who loves marrying cooking skills to nutrition counseling in her practice, Thrive Nutrition. Amy Lawson, RDN and I talk about how there does not need to be any rules and there’s no gimmicks. Changing your nutritional habits and behaviors takes time and most importantly, we need encouragement to see these changes through. One of my favorite tips she shared today was her, “choose your own adventure bowls” for her family. I’ll let you listen to learn about that and so much more!
