Experience Healthy Meal Making That’s Practically Guaranteed!

Here is a little-known secret: Only 40% of meal making is what we usually think of as “cooking,” i.e., chopping, dicing, mixing and sautéing. Few people know that the other 60% of meal making success lies in what you do before you ever step foot in the kitchen and start cooking! That second part of meal making is the “getting-prepared-to-cook” part.

The 60/40 Secret If you don’t know about that 60% part of the meal making success equation, of course you’ll struggle making the healthy meals you want to be eating. You’re missing more than half of the equation!

The Full Equation Happily, my programs offer a new, holistic and integrated approach, sharing 100% of the skills you need for deliciously healthful everyday meal making. In addition to the 40% cooking piece, you’ll discover the 60% getting-ready-to-cook piece that transforms meal making from chaotic to efficient, ease-ful and manageable.

That 60% piece can be organized into 6 KitchenSmart® skills and habits. These commonsense, easy to understand strategies get you prepared-to-cook so stress-free healthy meal making is practically guaranteed.
