KITCHEN MAKE-OVERS

I don’t do carpentry, electricity, or plumbing.  However, I can go through your cupboards, your refrigerator, your freezer, and toss whatever has outlived its usefulness.  With your blessing, I will donate foods no longer wanted (assuming that they are in acceptable condition and are not past their "best by" date) to the local food pantry.  I will review your tools and make useful suggestions.  I will rearrange your cupboards, your pantry, so your foods are in a logical order.  I will evaluate your plates, cups, and bowls for size appropriateness.  If you’ve been putting it off, and you know it needs to be done, let me do it for you!  If you have elderly parents who haven’t thrown anything away in the past 50 years, I’ll take care of it for you.

PERSONAL SHOPPING

Hate to go shopping, or no time for it, but don’t want to subscribe to an online service, you don’t really know if you trust them to get it right?  I love to shop at the natural foods markets and the farmers markets.  I’m a very fussy shopper, and buy organic and bulk foods.  I’ll fill your jars and bins, using a dietitian’s eye for selecting foods with the best nutritional return.  Or, if you simply don’t know how to shop (some of us have to admit that!), I’ll go with you to teach you how to select the most healthful foods in the store.

PERSONAL COOKING/UNCOOKING LESSONS

Did you miss out on high school Home Economics classes?  Don’t know how to boil water, let alone how to NOT boil water?  I can help you untangle your thumbs and fingers, and learn to make sense of a recipe.
