What’s happening in January

Hello, 2013! I greet you with enthusiasm and purpose. I’m scheduled to be here, there, everywhere this month. Hope to see you somewhere in the mix!

Highlights:

-I spent the past couple of days at LA Fitness Vancouver East location promoting my cookbook — just in time for the new year’s resolution crowds. I’ll make two more appearances on the 15th and 31st. A new year! A healthy new you! See below for all the details.

-Wednesday, January 16th from 2:30 – 4:00 p.m., I’m super-excited to host my first ever cooking class for kids (nine and older). As a product of childhood obesity this class is near and dear to my heart. I want to reach back and help. My goal is to teach the young ‘uns early how to prepare and cook whole natural foods at home. After all, they are our future generation. On the menu: Blueberry Smoothies, Bean & Cheese burritos, and fresh fruit cups. All the yummy details below.

-Another great honor! I’ve been asked to be the guest speaker for Clark College’s Fitness Incentive Program. I’m scheduled to speak to four different groups the week of the 21st. This is a private event,however, open to Clark College students only. I know, I’m such a tease. Sorry. There’s plenty more chances to see me.

-Portland! Get your library cards ready. Multnomah County Library ordered four copies of Shop, Cook, Eat: Outside of the Box late last month so they should be in circulation soon. Here’s the link to their site to check the status MCL Catalog.
