See what some of Jennifer's clients have to say:
"I would never have thought I could make changes that would be so profound in all areas of my life. There is a new lightness and brightness about me. I have lost 20 lbs (!), and seen improvements in my skin, hair and nails. I have avoided medications for high cholesterol and triglycerides - making real changes in my blood work. Overall, I have new found energy for myself and my family. This is the only way to live - let Jen show you the way, too!!"
- Jen Z.
"How can food that tastes so good be so good for you??" - J.H.
"My family eats together when we eat your food. For that alone, I am so grateful! Thank you from the bottom of my heart." - Tricia R.
"Thank you SO much for a wonderful cooking class. I can really say that it has changed the way I eat, cook and shop for groceries! I always thought I've been health-conscious when it came to food, but I never realized just how much more I could be doing. Thanks again!" - Celina Z.
"The experience I've had with Jen Kelly has truly changed my life. Not only has my body changed, but my entire way of thinking." - Steph T.
"Jen provides an invaluable service; it is some of the best money I've ever spent on myself."
- Joanna H.
I am now making better choices and even enjoying foods I never knew existed! My improved choices have brought many changes: 22-pound weight loss, down from size 24 to size 14, my LDL has dropped significantly as has my blood sugar levels. Most importantly, my energy level has been great. I was amazed by the Whole Foods tour and the "green wall," and I loved Jennifer's cooking classes. This has been a great experience for me. ~Terry D. I was NEVER health conscious and I NEVER believed in Holistic Medicine or Holistic anything else...I can't believe in such a short period of time I am changing my life for the better. Also, my mood has been uplifted and I try to share my new found knowledge with others. Thank you so much Jennifer for bringing me to the light. Better late than never! ~Phyllis S. "This program has been wonderful for me. My back pain has all but gone away in the past three weeks and I feel lighter and have more energy than I have for a long time! I can't thank you enough for helping me realize that the foods we eat can have such a tremendous impact on our minds and bodies!" ~Joan J. The experience of working with has been a gift I gave to myself - it has made me aware of my connection with food on a deeper level and given me the tools I need for growth. The information I learned about the keys to great health are a part of me now, as are the spiritual lessons I learned in the process. I truly appreciate working with you. ~Jeanmarie W. |

 Greetings!
When I first started juicing fresh fruits and vegetables, I looked for something to do with the abundance of leftover pulp, rather than just tossing it in the trash. I tried adding it to smoothies, I froze some in the hopes of adding it to carrot muffins, I even added some to pancakes once (not entirely recommended). Then, about 3 years ago, I purchased a composter and began making rich organic soil from the juice remnants and the other organic kitchen waste that would otherwise have been lost forever. To my surprise, the soil that came out of the composter provided us with a full garden the following year. We first noticed tomato and arugula sprouts, and thought, "Wait a minute, these are not weeds."
The sprouts grew to what we now call our spontaneous chaos garden - a mix of the strongest, heartiest, plants I have ever seen, all sprung from the seeds of our previous year's produce. It took my own personal gardening experience to remind me that Mother Nature always has the perfect plan - the plants that are strong enough to nourish those who eat it will be the ones to survive. I do not use any type of pesticide, not even an organic one, and this year, I have the biggest, healthiest garden of spontaneous growth yet.
Above are the leaves and flowers of the summer squash vines that have taken over my yard - and threaten the neighbors' yards as well. The leaves measure 12-16" across and I have stopped counting the large yellow flowers which produce new squash buds daily (although I may halt this process by snipping some flowers to stuff with goat cheese and sauté with some Ezekiel bread crumbs...). I just had to create a recipe for all this squash, so scroll down for a summer squash and pesto dish, and feel free to stop by and help yourself to a summer squash - I have more than enough to go around.
Happy gardening, composting, and basking in this gorgeous summer,
Jennifer |

August cooking class: Summer in the Raw
Only 2 spaces left!
 Discover how simple,
inexpensive and delicious
"not cooking" can be.
Raw food means so much more than typical salads, fruit and uncooked vegetables... it's a way of life.
Food that hasn't been heated is packed with nutrients as well as life-giving enzymes that are destroyed in the cooking process.
As little as 51% of raw food in your diet has been known to improve symptoms of dis-ease
in the body, such as:
low energy/fatigue
excess weight
fibromyalgia
chronic infections
Lupus and other auto-immune diseases
PMS
acne, eczema or rashes
asthma
arthritis or any inflammatory condition
Join us for a unique cooking class to learn more about the benefits of raw food and how to prepare delicious raw dishes that will impress even your toughest critics.

Recipe of the Month
Grilled summer squash with broccoli rabe pesto
1 large yellow summer squash, sliced
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Celtic sea salt
freshly-ground black pepper
for the pesto:
small bunch broccoli rabe (about 1/2 lb), rough ends removed 2 cloves garlic, chopped 1 cup toasted walnuts 1 tablespoon raw honey 1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano (I recommend fresh Grana Padano) Blanch broccoli rabe for 10 minutes, then rinse in cool water to stop the cooking process. Prepare pesto by placing all pesto ingredients in a food processor or blender and mixing until smooth. Brush squash slices with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on a hot grill at medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes on each side. Arranges slices on a platter and pour pesto over top. Alternately, toss squash with pesto in a large bowl to cover entirely. |
