Hungry? Amanda's Healthy Cooking In Guilford Has The Yummy Good Goods
Eating healthy doesn't have to be boring, says East Haven's Amanda Cesare. "You just have to be creative!" She'll handle the creative part.

GUILFORD, CT —Amanda Cesare's passion is a combination of good health, good food and self-care. Having earned a degree in Health Science Nutrition, she worked at a facility where she cooked for children with eating disorders. There, she became ServSafe-certified and knew, this was her path. Feed people food made with love, and the freshest and healthiest ingredients.
"I knew that this is what I want to do. I learned the story behind every nutrient and macronutrient along with the importance of each one of them," and she was off.
Cesare, of East Haven, says that fad and yo-yo dieting doesn't work and "never lasts."
