” EAT FROM THE EARTH & DRINK FROM THE VINE !!! “
HI, I AM YVONNE AND SO FAR, I AM LOVING MY 50’S. I MAY EVEN SAY THIS IS THE BEST TIME OF MY LIFE. I ENJOY COOKING HEALTHY EASY MEALS. I TEACH, “PLAYING WITH FOOD,” A CLASS DESIGNED TO EDUCATE KIDS ABOUT WHOLE FOODS AND NUTRITION. BOTH OF MY CHILDREN HAVE A TON OF ENERGY WHICH MAKES KEEPING FIT A BIT EASIER. LET US NOT FORGET THAT OF COURSE I NEED A GREAT GLASS OF WINE, (OR 2 ) BECAUSE BY THE TIME DINNER IS COOKING THIS GIRL NEEDS A LITTLE RELAXING MOM TIME .
I LIVE WITH MY HUSBAND AND TWO CHILDREN age 10 & 13 . YES, I GOT A LATE START ( THUS THE WINE ). I ALSO HAVE A DOG NAMED COCOA ( WHO FOR SOME REASON ALSO HAS A TON OF ENERGY, CURSED ).
I HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF MISSING A FILTER BUTTON, WHICH COULD MAKE THIS SITE A LITTLE MORE FUN FOR YOU. I HOPE THIS BLOG MAKES YOU SMILE AND MAYBE EVEN LAUGH, AS YOU MAKE YOUR WAY THROUGH THE LONG DAY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT YOUR KIDS WONT EAT TODAY. GRRRR.
MY NUTRITIONAL JOURNEY
I have always been of the mind that we are how we feel. The biggest factor in how our bodies function is what we put into them. When we choose whole foods (those closest to the earth) we have started a wonderful connection. Avoiding processed foods is a great beginning. You will see immediate changes in how you feel and function without ingredients that our bodies find unrecognizable.
I have studied nutrition since graduation with a degree in theatre and music. I am a certified personal trainer through ACE , a Kids Nutrition Specialist (NESTA) and a Certified Nutrition & Wellness Consultant through AFPA. Affiliations are nationally recognized by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. I am an advocate for the USDA “My Plate” program and currently run an enrichment program designed to teach our youth about the benefits of choosing a variety of fruits and vegetables to reach nutritional needs.
