I completed and have sustained a healthy whole food, plant-based lifestyle since the community Mercersburg, PA Engine 2 challenge held in 2010. As a plant-based cook, I earned a position as a finalist the last three years that Pennsylvania held their Vegetable Cook-Off competitions. For over seven years I have shared my experiences, knowledge and skills as a health food coach and presenter for our local healthy eating adventures as well as coaching individuals to live a healthy lifestyle. I prepare my food and take my own food photography.I began my formal education as a physical education and health major. I received a BA from Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster, PA and an MBA from Shippensburg University. To satisfy my creative artistic right brain, I earned my Diploma from London’s City and Guilds in Patchwork and Quilting. I continue to take courses and workshops to hone my photography skills.As an entrepreneur I set up an e-commerce business Piecemaking LLC over 17 years ago. I work as a studio artist and have designed award winning contemporary quilts. Before becoming a studio artist, I taught college and worked in the corporate world as a multimedia developer. You can find me cooking in my kitchen or in the studio taking food photos or writing cook books or on the tennis courts.

COACH BJ’s philosophy is to make cooking fun and of course delicious! My recipes are made with the home cook in mind. It’s always fun to learn and you can’t go wrong when you get back to nature – plant-based from the earth. Talk about easy-to-make…these recipes need simple tools, no need to own an everyday-standing-blender as a simple fork will do the trick. For blending in some recipes, a simple blender/chopper will do that trick.

Food ads have plagued us. Finally, main stream media is sending us messages about the benefits of eating whole food, plant-based.

Another passion of mine is photography so I offer beautiful food photography to make you hungry! We
