Services

As a Personal Chef, Culinary Nutritionist, Recipe Developer and Whole Living Expert, I have studied all the major dietary theories and will help you discover what approach works best for you and your life.

Life is too short to dwell on calories, carbs, fats, proteins, restrictions and lists of good and bad foods, I work with clients to create a happy, healthy life in a way that is flexible, fun and free of denial and discipline.

No one diet works for everyone. I will guide you to find the food and lifestyle choices that best support you. I’ll also help you to make gradual, lifelong changes that enable you to reach your current and future health goals.

I am dedicated to helping her clients live healthier lives by teaching them, hands-on, how to nourish themselves through proper food choices.

Aside from my Healthy Apple Culinary work, I was the Culinary Nutritionist for the NBA Fit Program and previously served as Brand Ambassador for Rudi’s Gluten-Free Bread, Musselman’s Applesauce and many of your favorite companies who sponsor Amie at conferences and food expos across the nation.

For the past eight years, I’ve been working with clients who deal with the same stress, confusion, and overwhelm when it comes to eating cleaner and healthier. And every one of them has been surprised at not only how easy it can be to shift your diet in a better direction, but how fun and delicious, too.

Service Descriptions

Private Chef

• In-home chef: I work in my clients’ kitchens, usually during the day with you or while you are away, and prepare a week or two weeks’ worth of meals, packages the meals into single-serving containers and then store them in the refrigerator or freezer for you to use each day.
• Expertise in special diets: As someone who has suffered with numerous food intolerances and allergies, I am well-versed in developing meals that prioritize your particular sensitivities.
• Dinner party planning: I work with clients for dinner parties, going over menu options, talking about guests in town and what sort of food mood they’re in the mood for whether it be vegan, gluten-free, vegetarian, dairy-free or simply just healthy and unique.
• Clean food parties.  I host Clean Eating workshops at schools, organizations, Corporate Wellness Programs as well as at clients’ homes as an informal, fun evening event where guests learn about clean eating, try their hand at preparing it, and then enjoy the fruits of their labor.
• Educator/Presenter. While I’m happy to stay in the kitchen, I can also be part of the entertainment—particularly if you want to have someone present and educate guests on specific foods. I’ve worked with many major brands to represent their foods at conferences and events and am happy to include this as part of the service.

Personal Food Shopping Services & Supermarket Tours

You’ve been to the grocery store countless times – but after you’ve gone with me, you’ll never make that trip the same way again.  I have created a fun and exciting grocery store tour to help you better navigate the aisles.  I will show you what to look for, what to avoid, how to read nutrition labels, how to steer clear of ‘food marketing’ ploys and identify healthy products.   I also work with clients as their personal shopper for groceries and introduce the best places for fresh, seasonal produce at the best prices while saving you time and money.  This service can be a private one-on-one tour as well as a group tour with you and your friends.

Kitchen Ambush & Pantry Makeover

My Pantry Makeover service will do more than provide you with the knowledge you need to make healthier, cost effective choices in the grocery store.  As a Healthy Family Pantry Stylist, I will organize the pantry and fridge in your home, meet with you to clean out your pantry and fridge and create a grocery list for you and your family.  I will then do your food shopping and stock your pantry and fridge to make your meal prep easy and convenient.

Personalized Healthy Menu Planning

I work with clients to personalize a list of menus using healthy, fresh foods in unique, delicious and innovative ways that will keep your meals exciting, taste buds happy and your body healthy.

• Healthy Family Plan
  Despite the desire to enjoy and indulge in food it is equally important to pay attention to what you are eating. This program will provide a healthy blueprint for enjoying food while reducing weight or maintaining healthy body weight.
• Gluten-Free/ Wheat-Free Plan

Wheat gluten allergy (Celiac Disease) or Gluten Intolerance can cause agonizing bloating, stomach cramps and resistance to weight loss. I will provide a gluten-free meal plan, tips and recipe ideas that can help alleviate symptoms.   I will create a nutrition program focused on the gluten-free individual.

• Dairy-Free Plan
  Lactose Intolerance can also cause bloating, sinus infections, stomach cramps and resistance to weight loss. I will create a nutrition program focused on the lactose intolerant individual.
• Soy-Free Plan
  I will create a nutrition program focused on the soy-free individual as soy is a hidden ingredient in products such as tea and salad dressings that many people are unaware.
• Vegetarian/ Vegan Plan
  I will teach you how to combine plant-based proteins, healthy carbohydrates and unsaturated fats.  I will create a program based on your Vegetarian and/or Vegan wants and needs.
