Hi, my name is Renee Pottle.  After years of working in the medical, education and non-profit worlds I decided to chuck it all and “follow my bliss”.  The journey has had a few bumps but today I am a healthy eating coach, a nutrition educator specializing in heart health,  the owner of Wine Barrel Gourmet, a healthy gourmet foods company, and the author of several cookbooks.  My days are not boring! Anyway, I believe that dinner should be quick and easy to prepare, healthy, and delicious (also meatless for me personally).  I am passionate that we shouldn’t have to give up one of these features for another. Welcome along as we explore how to cook healthy while satisfying our taste buds at the same time.

BTW – Don’t let the photo scare you, I’m really not that austere. I just haven’t taken a good picture since eighth grade!
