About the cook: My name is Rachel Houston and I am from Houston, Texas. I have a health degree from Texas A&M and I was a elementary school teacher for 3 years. I have recently decided to further pursue my passion for health. This includes getting my group fitness certification while spending hours in the kitchen perfecting healthy recipes. I love what healthier food can do to the body and want to continue sharing that.
