SHINE HEALTH COLLECTIVE
Cooking & Coaching
Back to Basics
We are excited to offer this new program for parents and their kids, with Wellness Chef Suzy Destarac. It’s the best of both worlds:
- A community cooking class where participants get to interact with each other in the comfort of a virtual setting.
- Private coaching that addresses personal wellness challenges and a plan to move forward with your health.
This program is intentionally designed for supporting parents in weaving health, respect, confidence, and positivity into their family. All wrapped up in a monthly meaningful experience! We want to help parents get back to the basics with their kids and instill the love of cooking and connecting together!
Going Back to the Basics
I got interested in cooking when I was 27 and was a fairly new mom with two littles. We were spending way too much time and money at the pediatricians office for sick visits, and the drive thru’s became all too common. In fact, one of my daughter’s first words was “french fry”… that’s how much we were eating fast food! Luckily, my research background led me to search for ways to beat colds without antibiotics, and fuel our bodies for success, not sickness. This began right in my very own kitchen with my daughters, making kid friendly veggie packed snacks and meals, and they were learning right along with me. One day when asked by my mom what type of cracker my 3-year-old wanted for a snack she replied “any kind without hydrogenated oil”. Kids are sponges, and we have the power to shape their young taste buds! Even as adults, we can shape our own too.
Since I’ve started my cooking classes and wellness coaching, what I find is that many people are confused about what to cook and eat, and how to prepare food so that their family will want to eat it! Go no further than the first page on your social media feed to get an abundance of ideas for cooking, along with contradicting advice from every health guru on the planet. What we need is to get back to the basics of cooking and caring for our nutrition in a simple, doable way. I truly believe that our first wealth is our health, and without it, sickness forces its way to become the focus in our lives.
What a gift it is to raise our children to respect what they eat and understand how to take care of themselves with regards to nutrition. This creates a ripple effect, leading to healthier choices and elevated success. As food costs keep increasing, another component is the budget of our meals. All these things are not only important for us to figure out, but also to prepare our kids to make smart choices about finances and health.
