First, I want to thank everyone who supported Sophia on her first cooking class.  Second, I want you to pat yourselves on the back.  The reason?  Because you are seeking knowledge, you are seeking better health habits, you are connecting to food, which is viably important for your health, your families health and the earth.  

Remember what I said, "It Is About Transitioning Into Better Health Habits", not through depriving yourself of things that you were used…
