Jenny Breen is a Twin Cities champion of food. From the moment we started talking about food systems, cookbooks, the imposter syndrome, and social media, I was hooked. Jenny really understands food systems and is passionate about eating local, sustainable food and regenerative agriculture.In 2012, Jenny published the cookbook, “Cooking Up The Good Life” because she wanted to contribute healthy, nourishing recipes that could be served at the family table. Try your hand at the Peanut or Sesame Sauce recipe below and then see an example of a recipe that uses the sauce with her Thai Noodle Bowls from her Transforming The Table Blog. Jenny has many additional recipes here and can be hired for healthy eating consulting, as an educator on nutrition, or as a caterer in your home. Connect with Jenny on Instagram @jennybroccoli 51 or at her website to learn more about her teaching and her services.Peanut or Sesame SauceIngredients:1/4 cup rice vinegar1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil1/4 cup peanut butter, tahini, or other nut butter1/4 cup fresh lime juice2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce3 cloves garlic, finely minced (or equivalent in garlic scapes - about 3)1-inch ginger, (peeled with a teaspoon) finely minced 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or sriracha chili sauceInstructions:Whisk together vinegar, oils, nut butter or tahini, lime juice, tamari, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes or sriracha in a small bowl.

Episode 33: Jenny Breen

We are thrilled to bring you today’s guest, Jenny Breen. Jenny has been a professional chef and advocate for local and sustainably raised foods, working directly with farmers and producers in the Twin Cities area, since the mid 1980’s.  She was co-owner of Good Life Cafe and Catering, a sustainable and whole foods business from 1996-2013.  She is a 2009 Archibald Bush Foundation Leadership Fellow and completed her MPH in Nutrition at the University of Minnesota in 2011 while working to build networks within health and food systems to create greater access to food, support for sustainable farming, and to utilize cooking as a health strategy. Her first cookbook  "Cooking up the Good Life" was released in April of 2011 from the University of Minnesota Press. She currently teaches three courses at the University of Minnesota through the Bakken center for Spirituality and Healing, and the college of Food and Agriculture. She contracts as a food and nutrition public health educator and delivers culinary nutrition training to local health departments, school districts, non profit food and farming organizations and regular community folks. We had a fantastic conversation with Jenny about how food is medicine and how it is directly connected to personal health, community health and environmental health. We discussed how we need to be informed consumers of food and that our choices should be intentional. We also talk about how cooking is a delicious and potentially joyful way to engage with the food system at many levels. Jenny peppers the conversation with lots of wonderful tips including:  coming up with three basic sauces and batch cooking (grain, sauce and legume each week), cooking smarter and not harder, building your freezer and your pantry with stocked items, and engaging your kids in the process. Additionally, we discussed how to empower people to understand how to take care of themselves through food and to trust their own intuition/knowledge/experience. You will not want to miss this powerful and important conversation.

E62: Explore how food and cooking have the power to transform individual, community and environmental health with professional chef Jenny Breen

Happy Earth Day! We are thrilled to bring you this special episode where we explore the amazing connection between what we eat, where it comes from, and who was involved in its production. Our guest Jenny Breen has been a part of the the local movement in the Twin Cities for decades. From her early days of cooking at the Seward Café where she got to interact with the local farmers delivering their produce, to opening and running the Good Life Café, Jenny has incorporated her passion for the local food systems and people within it, into the delicious creations she shares through her educational courses, consultations, coaching, and her cook book Cooking Up the Good Life.  In the episode we learn more about some of the things we can all experiment with while "sheltering in place" that can give us a greater appreciation for the food we eat. We will discover how to fill our pantry with nutritious healthy foods that can sustain us even when fresh produce isn't as plentiful, and what we can do with food items that might have been considered waste, yet still have nutritious value and are truly too good to waste.
