Dirt-to-Dine Adventures are farm and garden-centered, hands-on adventure camps where children create all aspects of the foods they cook and eat, from milking goats and making cheese and butter, to caring for chickens and harvesting free-range eggs, to grinding wheat into flour, preserving fruit and growing vegetables. Each day of the program starts with animal care, farm chores, sustainable farming and gardening, and leads to cooking from the foods just harvested. I am a founding member along with renowned Napa Valley Chef Michael Chiarello and his wife, Eileen, Marie Sayles and the Connolly Ranch in Napa, California.

As a Certified Green business owner who teaches healthy cooking classes to kids, it seemed only natural for Michelle to join the blogging world. What's Cooking Blog shares the musings of a kids' cooking teacher, recipes, tips on cooking with kids, ideas for how to make meal planning easier for families, and how to do community service through food and cooking. We also occasionally promote eco-friendly products and services that relate to food and parenting.
