“Terri Jordan, the Color-Coded Chef, was able to engage more than 215 athletes with a hands-on cooking experience. Our athletes gained confidence in preparing their healthy meals. They also learned how to make some of their favorite dishes and sauce using health conscience ingredients. We are truly impressed by the variety of meals and snacks the Color-Coded Chef has to offer. Collaborating with Terri was easy and enjoyable, and our athletes had a positive experience! We look forward to offering more opportunities like these at the Training for Life Campus.”

Our family always seeks ways to encourage our 10-year-old daughter, Izzi, to practice independence. Empower Abilities hosted a seminar that included a tour of their mock modified one-bedroom apartment. Izzi was most interested in the kitchen, as that is her favorite room in the home. She loves to prep, cook, and bake. She loved everything about the kitchen, but when she saw The Color-Coded Chef supplies, she honed in on them. She loved the colors of the tools, and when she saw that the tools coordinated with the recipes, it was a game changer! Asking her to get the “purple” cup makes much more sense than requesting the “quarter” cup. The recipes are easy to follow since they are in the form of a checklist. Her favorite tools are the cutter and the cutting mat. I, too, like that she loves to use them because now she is involved in prepping meals. She is more likely to eat food when she preps food, which is a huge plus. We are so pleased with how her interest in culinary arts has broadened, thanks to her usage of The Color-Coded Chef kit.
