Age-friendly nutrition education, designed to bring you peas of mind.
Peas & Pappas Consulting partners with organizations and communities to create nutrition education programs that support older adults and their caregivers in living with dignity, respect, and self-determination... and of course, a healthy serving of pizzazz. Each program is designed to spark interaction, build relationships, and strengthen connections across generations.

Caregivers are welcome to participate and learn alongside older adults.

Kitchen-in-a-Box
Hands-on cooking demonstrations that bring learning to life. Participants follow along with simple recipes, building confidence in the kitchen while exploring new tastes and new techniques... and new friendships. Caregivers can join to practice skills that support daily mealtimes.
The Caregiver Kitchen
Caring for others starts with caring for yourself. The Caregiver Kitchen offers a relaxed space for caregivers to connect, share experiences, and ask questions about nutrition and meal planning.
