SMART SPENDING
Beyond PBJ teaches clients to make high quality, affordable meals by using inexpensive, healthy ingredients found at any local grocery store.
Successes
“Quinn loves meal planning and prep with Emilia. His confidence and independence have increased dramatically. He eats a healthier diet and has become more adventurous with all of his food choices. Emilia and Quinn have a great time together. Beyond PBJ has been a real asset to Quinn as he becomes a more independent adult.”
– Steph R., parent of client
“Not only does Emilia know how to make all kinds of culinary delights but she knows how to patiently guide others into their own cooking successes. It was a great pleasure to watch her train and lead each member of our kitchen team. She patiently, joyfully, and adeptly helped each person to grow in their skills, become more independent, and produce wonderful food. Emilia loves food, she loves to cook, and she loves to help others reach their potential!”
– Wendy K., former employer
