Introduction: My work is unique because I work with individuals or small groups to help them learn about healthy food choices within their meager budgets. I engage them with humor and empathy. I have married my passions for food and for people to be an instrument of healing. I love people and I love to cook. I also bring a sense of humor to the table. This is the perfect venue for helping people understand how to do something important for their families with love and to make enduring memories. Our little blog helps people see their OWN value and helps them learn new ways of thinking and doing something they must do in order to survive.

Connie from the Food Stamps Cooking Club teaching with knowledge, experience and a sense of humor. She gives information based on her wide scope of knowledge of stretching a dollar to feed a family (or an individual) with limited resources healthy and tasty meals & snacks. She teaches with heart and with joy whether her students are old hands at cooking or beginners. Her teaching skills encourage creativity & experimentation.

I'm so glad to see this fabulous lady's mind and heart are becoming accessible to even more people. Connie is one of the best resources for healthy eating and living on a frugal budget I have ever been privileged to know. Then if you get that down, I'm pretty sure she knows more about almost everything else that may be challenging you than any agency or library!! Learn as much as you can. She's the best!!

Connie teaches from her heart and her experience. She has given me many tips that have helped me to shop with saving money in mind, and getting the nutritional value from less expensive items. She also has had cooking classes in her home, one of which I was priviledged to attend. Her guest was author Kay Young. Ms. Young taught us about gathering and cooking wild plants of the Great Plains in her book, Wild Seasons. So from personal experience and connection with awesome writers one can learn alot from Connie.

I am a frequent contributor to the Food Stamps Cooking Club. The best thing about Connie--among a plethora of good things--is her supportive and "can do" attitude. Anyone who comes to FSCC hoping to learn to stretch their grocery dollars leaves with the belief that they can do it. And they can!

FAQs

What types of customers have you worked with?
Posting on the blog nearly every day and replying to comments made there. Rich relationships have grown from the soil of commentary. Making sure the recipes are "TNT" - tried and true. And tasty, in addition to being budget friendly and healthy.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
I am not a professional anything. I am a home cook who sees a need to help people understand that "hamburger helper" at 10 for $1.00 is no bargain. They could take that same dollar and get some cabbage. THAT would help the hamburger far more than the junk that's sold in boxes!
