Be a Foodist: Fun and Healthy Cooking Classes for Kids

 Mobile Healthy Culinary Classes and Kids Parties

 

At Be a Foodist classes and parties, kids embark on a culinary journey that focuses on delicious foods, kitchen skills, nutrition and an overall common sense approach to eating well. Kids get to prepare and eat fresh vegetables, whole grains beans herbs, spices and other wholesome ingredients that are healthy, natural, delicious and good for them.

Kids come in and “don the hat” of a Foodist- a person who loves to try, taste, smell, & eat good food. They dive into preparing a fresh and delicious recipe. Foodists are encouraged to feel textures, smell spices and taste ingredients as they prepare their food.

Research shows that kids are much more interested in learning when they have ownership. We know this is absolutely true because most kids in our classes want to try all the healthy and delicious foods that they make! That’s what Be a Foodist classes are all about.

6 Week Fall session begins soon at a Real Bookstore in Allen and Fairview Village. EARLY BIRD SPECIAL ends on Sept 14, 2012.

Vann Counseling and Associates

Lori Vann’s philosophy is that quality mental health care should not be a luxury item and that it should be available to those who need & seek it.  The counselors in her office, who are under her direct supervision, are able to provide lower cost, affordable counseling.  Since they do case consults on a weekly basis with Ms. Vann, it is like having two counselors for the price of one.  Her interns come from diverse backgrounds and the following languages are available: English, Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Malay, and Gujurati.

Based upon her almost 15 years of counseling experience and several years of being a professor of psychology, Ms. Vann emphasizes the mind-body connection.  She has found that you cannot separate mental health from physical health and vice versa, therefore mental health care is just as important as physical health care.  The counselors in her practice assist clients in understanding how stress affects the mind, and thus may contribute to mental health issues and possible physical ailments while also assisting clients in identifying healthy vs. unhealthy coping skills.  One focus of treatment is assessing for possible boundary issues, whether in personal or professional life.  Ms. Vann has found that difficulties in boundary setting appear to be correlated with contributing to mental health concerns.
