The Center for a Healthy Lifestyle

We had my daughter’s 6^th birthday party at the Center for a Healthy Lifestyle in Solana Beach. Amanda from The Good Food Factory taught the kids how to make pizza. They kneaded the dough, they painted the pans with olive oil, they made the sauce, they put on the cheese and they prepped for the oven. Then Amanda, with her able assistant Lencsi, baked the pizzas and that’s what the kiddos had for lunch. Amanda is a child whisperer. She had all the kids at rapt attention the whole time, which was amazing.
What a cute facility. Affiliated with the adjacent Boys & Girls Club, the Center for a Healthy Lifestyle promotes healthier living through cooking, gardening and fitness. They grow their greens in the yard’s surprisingly extensive garden, and they even have chickens back there. The Center hosts classes for all ages, cooking camps and field trips, and the teaching kitchen itself is awesome. The house was donated and moved to its current site. Somebody very special obviously cared a lot to fund the Center to advance this great message.
We are now instant fans of Amanda and want to watch more of her tv show, The Good Food Factory. And we can’t wait to come back to the Center for a Healthy Lifestyle. Great venue and great fun. Highly recommend.
