My Mom attended your cooking class yesterday at Good Sam and loved it! I've been vegan for years, but not until now did she ever say "We HAVE to go Whole Foods, and buy this, and this, and this..." Awesome. Keep up the great work!

Our second "shout out" this week goes to Skip and Nancy Stein of Whole Foods for Healthy Living. You might call them health and wellness coaches, but I would say they are the answer to "How do you fix that?" That is one of the most common questions from customers at Kiss Green Place market. From vegetarian to vegan to raw or macrobitic, they can help you find a way to "fix it" so the nutrition stays in and gets where it belongs. You can actually attend a cooking class if you are interested. Check out their website at www.wholefoods4healthyliving.com - I think you will be glad you did. Skip and Nancy are also both founding members of the Holistic Coalition.

Private Vegan Nutrition Counseling

The barley came out ok. I tell you one thing, Friday I was so worn out but Saturday and Sunday, I have had so much energy that I can't believe it! Does eating all the foods that you cooked for us on Friday give so much energy? And yes, I have felt full for a long.... period of time. Thank you so much!

Hello! I really appreciate you taking the time out to give me these tips..I will have try them. I definitely think I will be putting them all to work. My oldest is 15 and she loves to bake I think will use that my advantage:) I'm shocked to hear dairy weakens his bones all these we thought we were strengthen their by giving them dairy. So do you what we can give them to strengthen their bones(especially my son)? The class was well worth every penny and then some.. This is definitely a lifestyle we need to adapt if not for ourselves, for our 4 kids. I think it will be very difficult for us being that we are always on the with our kids. (sic) Slowly but surely we will get there:) Thanks for all your help and God Bless.

EATING - The Movie (Complimentary DVD for every client!)

We had friends who stayed with us last week from England and are now in Naples. They called to say they watched "EATING" and will never eat meat again! They think it necessary to re-watch the DVD at least once every couple of months to ensure they don't forget how bad it is for us to eat meat. They are going to show all their family and friends it when they go home. They said they went out the next day to Wholefoods and bought 4 recipe books on vegan foods.

Nancy: Thanks so much for the class; I truly enjoyed it. I liked the format of the class with the "information" first concerning the food products available to everyone and then the cooking. I could have sat with you for the full 4 hours and just discussed the books and food products that are out there for us to read and enjoy! I even enjoyed meeting your other "students"; they were all very nice. Of course, I want to start right away with doing it all - cleaning out my pantry and refrigerator and buy all new items and then cooking everything vegetarian, buying a juicer, etc., etc., but I'm trying to put the brakes on myself and go slow. Maybe just pick out a couple of dinners I would like to try and stay with my regular breakfasts and lunches for now.  (Ezekiel bread with almond butter for breakfast and salads for lunch). Anyway, my point is that you've inspired me and that's just what I was looking for. So, thank you.

Loved it. Nancy is so knowledgeable, organized and prepared. Not only did I learn, but it was a lot of fun. Skip is also very informed and helpful. Would I do it again? Absolutely.

Thanks Nancy and Skip.

Vegan Plant Based Nutrition Awareness Class

Nancy's cooking class was a Great Time! I met some fun and friendly folks, and felt relaxed and welcomed. Nancy explained all steps thoroughly with patience and thoughtfulness. Actually, she explained many steps numerous times since not only were most of us new to Vegan cooking, but a few of us were new to cooking in general.

It was great to actually view the entire process from start to finished product. This technique will jog the memory later when attempting each recipe. I was surprised and pleased to find alternative products to animal meat that actually tasted really good. In turn, my husband will also be pleased when he realizes that the meat on his taco's isn't really meat and is a vegetable product with the same texture and taste as beef, turkey, or chicken.

I am also excited and thankful to learn that the various alternatives to meat will supply more than enough daily protein. Nancy's cooking class was a unique experience and I look forward to attending additional classes. In addition, I'm grateful that Nancy & Skip care enough to bring the REAL TRUTH about the Standard American Diet (SAD) to the public, or rather to those individuals that care enough about their health and family to independently research the TRUTH behind "What is really killing Americans." Thank you for your efforts!!

Plant Based Awareness - Open Buffet at Kissimmee's New World Wellness

Nicole's' yoga studio was warm and cozy, but most important of all it was CLEAN! I send a HUGE Thank You to Nancy Stein!! Oh my Gosh the food was Wonderful!!! …and Plenty!!! I was shocked to see the amount and variety of food that Nancy prepared for the buffet. To be honest I didn't know what dishes were possible without using animal meat. My husband just knew that his plate was going to be nothing but "rabbit food." He wasn't that excited to attend the dinner, because I wouldn't let him eat beforehand and he figured he'd leave hungry. To my pleasant surprise and his amazement, not only was the food displayed artistically, but it was delicious!!! We both stuffed ourselves..literally..and left with the confidence of knowing that there truly are alternatives to the standard meat, potatoes, and side salad. I can't remember specific names, but a few of the items were taco's, pizza, chili, homemade crackers, bread, meat alternatives, soups, and dips etc…. Tasty and creative veggie dishes and salads, along with cookies, cakes, pies, and chocolate were also presented. All I can say is two-thumbs up!! It was truly Fantastic!

Nancy is extremely knowledgeable and experienced about cooking healthy food, and she is very creative with the preparation and presentation of it, too!

She is a thorough, patient and easy to follow teacher. Time spent with her was educational and inspiring!
