This page is just for fun!
An achievement that I am very proud of is that I was a Camp Counselor for seven years. It was in this setting that I chose teaching as my future career. There are no teachers in my family so it was a big decision to make!
From 2011 to 2013, I was a Cooking School Instructor at a community centre in Toronto for Summer and March Break camps. It was in this environment that my love of cooking and teaching came together and I was inspired to create healthy, themed menus for my classes.
Each day, my chefs and I could be in a different country – China, London or Egypt – or learning different cooking skills!
This page is dedicated to showing you, as parents, some easy and healthy ideas for parties, meals or snacks.
I have also included on this page, links to the Ontario Ministry of Education's healthy eating initiatives that are being used in your children's schools. Recently, there have policies and bills passed that require schools to pay more attention to foods consumed by children.
For example, Power4Bones is a program that targets Grade 5 students and offers tools for teachers to educate kids about bone health!

In addition, if you download the documents below you can see recipes created by me that provide healthy eating and meal ideas for families!
- Healthy Snack Ideas: This document provides easy, fast and healthy snacks for kids when they come home from school.
- Sweet Genius/Irons Chef: This document is an activity that I would do on Fridays with my cooking class. I would give campers an easy recipe and 2 mystery ingredients. The children's final product would be judged by me (the ultimate Sweet Genius or Iron Chef). This is a great opportunity for teamwork and creativity.
- It's Pizza Day!: This recipe page provides ideas for homemade Breakfast, Lunch/Dinner and Dessert pizza... because who doesn't love pizza!
- Around the World: This page offers up ideas for themed parties or birthdays. I have included recipes for an Aloha Blast party, a Harry Potter party, or a Pirates of the Caribbean party!
