Meet Janet Irizarry
"Mindfulness is about being fully present in the moment without
judgment or distraction. It means paying deliberate attention to our
thoughts, feelings, our mind and body, and the world around us."

What Makes Me a Mindful Foodie?
After a 30-year career in the restaurant industry, one could say I've gained extensive knowledge about food. However, I recently realized there was a missing ingredient: Mindfulness. When I began to incorporate it, my enjoyment of food hit a whole new level. I found that when I applied mindfulness to food, it went beyond saving money or promoting healthy eating—it seemed almost magically to help me align with my innate values of gratitude, caring for others and kindness to the environment.
Values I had found that throughout life I still held but seemed to get lost in my actions along the way. But as I became more aware of my food choices found an unexpected joy in becoming more aligned with my values and find it is an incredible feeling. One I want to share! Find the joy of mindfulness that nourishes a sustainable lifestyle which at the same time lets you nurture others and the planet. All of this becomes accessible when you engage in the My Mindful Kitchen method and the 90-Day Path to Becoming a Mindful Foodie program.

"I've discovered that in every recipe, the secret ingredients of mindfulness which include appreciation and love have the power to transform not only the food I book but also the joy I experience."
