Timaree Hagenburger is a full-time nutrition professor at Cosumnes River College, a professional speaker working in corporate wellness and is a Certified Exercise Physiologist. She discovered plant-based nutrition a few years ago, and hasn't looked back.
Her work focuses on removing the anxiety and “chore-ness” from cooking. By involving the whole family, by choosing old favorites, by giving options, and by starting simple, she helps her students and readers fall in love with food preparation.
She's the author of the beautiful and eminently practical book, The Foodie Bar Way, which contains templates for 32 different whole food, plant-based bars, as well as sample recipes for each bar.
