Anyone who knows Bonita knows that she loves to cook. She refers to herself as a “foodie” who enjoys trying out new recipes for her family and friends. Bonita has been interested in nutritious and healthy eating for nearly twenty years. She understands first-hand that we are what we eat and how our food choices affect how we feel, look and think. Bonita has a huge collection of not only cookbooks, but recipe books which she occasionally lends out to her family for ideas on the condition that they must give them back! Her favorites are by David Wolf, Brigitte Mars and Alissa Cohen. Everything by the Botenko family is also on her favorites list.
Bonita has a true zest for learning and was first brought into the healthy food movement by her friend, Mozell Scovill. Mozell brought a Health Ministry to her former church which she was active in and which sparked her long-term interest in healthy eating.
October 10th will be her second time attending HEALTHYSELFDETROIT’s Health Workshop. Shis is looking forward to gaining even more knowledge and information that she can continue to share with those that she loves. Her three youngest grandkids are very curious about this adventure of eating raw food beyond a green salad, but they sure love her green smoothies!
