It's hard to believe that my first group of Super Chefs (9 years ago) will be heading off to college, sniff sniff, in 3 1/2 years... Not surprising that this article notes that understanding basic nutrition and cooking skills are important to have under their belts before they fly the nest! Don't forget to send them off with their Super Chef recipes!

6 life skills every teen needs to know before heading to college “Almost every student shows up not knowing how to do something, whether it's how to cook a simple meal, manage their money, separate clothing for the laundry, or live compatibly with strangers," says Shannon Reed, a visiting lecturer at the University of Pittsburgh.

This is a post that I just wrote and wanted to share with you, my Super Chef! peeps. Please know that after running Super Chef for 8 years, I miss our cooking classes very much. I have loved every moment of helping kids and adults become healthier from the inside-out and now, with the creation of WellNEST, I get to work from the outside-in. Full circle. I am grateful to all of you for joining me on this journey and for the wonderful opportunities to cook with your kids and make a difference. Thank you!!! ... and PLEASE check out Leahanne's site. She truly is amazing. PS. I'll keep posting healthy articles on this page... I can't help myself! :>) Be well!
