Upcoming Cooking Workshops

Welcome to A Nourished Life

Pears and Cranberries

You know you should cook and eat more 'healthy' but you are not sure where to begin. Eating healthy begins with cooking healthy and there is no better teacher than first-hand experience. The best way to be kind to your body is to learn to cook. This empowers you to fuel your body with the very best nutrients and ingredients without having to guess about what ‘secret’ ingredients you might be ingesting.


At A Nourished Life, we empower you by teaching you how ‘ingredient-conscious’ cooking, mindful eating and healthy activity go hand-in-hand. Through our highly interactive culinary workshops and retreats, you will learn how to incorporate the healthiest, whole food ingredients into your diet. We’ll teach you how to put together healthy menus along with cooking tips and tricks and how to choose the very best ingredients for your body. Additionally, we teach about how to be kind to the earth in this process.

Ultimately, our mission is to educate . . . first, on choosing healthy ingredients and second, on how to prepare them so they are delicious and retain their nutritional value.  Our greatest desire is to provide you with a culinary experience that will change your life forever!

Please see our COOKING WORKSHOP information page for a description of workshop offerings, along with a workshop calendar and online registration.

Also, in April, 2012, we will hold a 3-day weekend culinary retreat in the beautiful Colorado mountains. CLICK HERE to learn more!

BLOG SPOT - KICKIN CHICKEN

Ways With This Clean, Lean Protein!

I recently had a request from a friend, who competes in the same sport as I do, to provide some new ways with chicken. We eat lots of lean protein (about 200+grams per day) when building lean muscle and preparing for a show. Chicken seems to be a go-to protein source. So, Jacqui, this is for you my friend. Here’s a few of my favorite ways with chicken. I’ve gathered these recipes from many sources and adapted them to my liking. In some cases, I’ve paired the chicken with a starchy side. Reduce or eliminate as needed depending on where you are in contest prep.

Also for anyone interested, I’m teaching a cooking workshop on February 6, 2012 called KICKIN CHICKEN to address even more ways with chicken! Check it out.
