Description
“Hey babe, what should we do for dinner tonight?”
“Oh, uh, we could go to that restaurant down the street…”
“We just ate there the other day and spent $60.”
“Yeah...maybe we should just go to Subway.”
“Again? I’m sick of Subway. Should we just eat cereal?”
“I think we have some eggs…”
“Whatever -- let’s just go to that restaurant.”
If this sounds like you, this course is for you. A lot of people don’t know what they’re going to eat for lunch or dinner, and then end up eating fast food or going out where they spend a lot more money than they would like. By learning a few simple cooking techniques, you can eat healthy, delicious food without spending a lot of time or money.
This is not a traditional cooking class in that the focus is on specific cooking techniques rather than recipes (although, you will also find many simple recipes). You’ll learn how to prepare food; how to cook meats, vegetables, and grains in several ways; how to bring a lot of flavor to your meals by putting together flavor profiles composed of certain spices; and how to safely clean your cooking area. Throughout the course, you’ll also learn about basic nutrition (e.g., carbs aren’t the enemy).

Hi! I love creating online courses and instructional materials on topics I love. I currently offer the following:
• Buy-and-Hold Real Estate Investing (NEW) - online course
I am a licensed REALTOR® in both California and Utah (New Place Realty) and have been investing in real estate since 2016. I currently own two duplexes and a condo and have always managed my rentals myself, often remotely. I created this course to share everything I've learned about finding, rehabbing, renting out, and managing properties.
• Street-Smart Stats: A Friendly Introduction to Statistical Research Methods - digital textbook
I majored in math with an emphasis in statistics and think statistics is super important for everyone to learn. This book gives the fundamentals of building statistical thinking and being able to conduct basic data analyses.
• Chess for Total Beginners - online course
Formerly one of the top 50 girls under age 13 in the US and top 100 women chess players in the US. I barely have time to play anymore but still love the game and think everyone should learn.
• Cursive Penmanship: Learn the art, improve your handwriting - online course
I won the national penmanship contest in 6th grade and still have pretty good handwriting, and I attribute that to practicing cursive in my youth. This course has video tutorials and worksheets you can print to practice your cursive handwriting, which will improve your handwriting overall.
• Algebra Foundations for Calculus - online course
This course doesn't teach just random algebra concepts you'll never use again. It focuses on topics that are essential in understanding calculus. The curriculum was developed in partnership with my friend Arun Sharma, PhD and mathematics professor at UC Berkeley.
• Nutrition Kitchen: Basics of cooking for busy people - online course
This course provides cooking basics like sauteéing and braising, creating flavor profiles, choosing cookware, cleaning your cookware and cooking space, and cooking various meats and vegetables all while providing simple and healthy recipes!
You can access all of these directly on my website. More courses coming soon.
