About Me

As a chef, educator, and writer, I’ve built a career helping others recognize that you don’t have to deprive yourself to be fit and healthy. Even fast food items like Big Macs, Cinnabon, and fried chicken can be made over to be lower and fat and high in flavor!

What is the next...

Purchase you’ll make?

Groceries...in bulk

Trend in design?

Serving fruit and other "uncool" food in martini glasses

Car you’d like to own?

BMW X5

Big step you’d like to make?

I want to convince all of America that healthy food can taste great (ok, maybe that’s a HUGE step).

Fad that will fade?

The McSalad. (Though I’m not sure it ever really took off).

Vacation you’ll take?

Go to Greece for a spa/cooking retreat.

Thing you’re going to fight for?

Healthy, tasty snacks at Disney Land.

Secret that’s going to leak?

America’s favorite fast food dishes can be duplicated at home with a fraction of the fat and calories of those found in the drive-thru...and they can taste just as good if not better!

Hollywood blockbuster going to be about?

This is sad, but I’ve worked so much this past year, I haven’t seen a movie in the theatre in over a year, so I’m not one to ask.

Life you’ll lead?

I’m just hitting the stride in this one and am way too happy to jump forward to the next.

Fountain of youth?

Consuming plenty of low-fat double pepperoni & onion pizza, low-fat chocolate kahlua parfaits, low-fat meatballs, spicy tuna rolls (made w/o mayo, of course) and a sprinkling of all of the other foods you love to indulge in, but thought you couldn’t.

Book you’ll read?

Rich Dad, Poor Dad.

Thing that will change the world?

I’d like to say, "Fast Food Fix", but that might only change a million or so households. The world is a tougher one. Maybe, a woman becoming president?

Guilty-pleasure food in which you’ll indulge?

Chocolate fudge icing!...without guilt, too.

Person to whom you’ll say, “I love you”?

Unfortunately, I don't know. But if you find him, please send him my way! :)
