Dish with Eileen is a short-format adventure cooking show that teaches people quick and easy ways to make tasty and healthy dishes.
Dish makes healthy food fun, revealing that literally “we are what we eat.” The show connects people to their food, from the garden, to the kitchen, and to the effects on their bodies and the environment, peppering each episode with interesting bites about connections among world cultures, ecology, nutrition, and health. Each episode addresses nutrition curriculum standards that make it easy for teachers to educate students about health in an entertaining and effective manner. Eileen whips up new delicious recipes one dish at a time, aiming to inspire youth and families to explore healthy cuisines by simply adding a few new dishes to their diets.

Together, Dish with Eileen and HOPSports strive to make people healthier and happier.
Philanthropy
Often it feels better to give than to receive. I learned about community service when I was in high school and feeling like “I can make a difference in the world” was a lesson I took with me into my adult years. Just a few simple examples that included spending Thanksgiving morning with my father feeding the homeless at the local soup kitchen, or community service hours spent with the hearing impaired had a tremendous impact on me. I try to include philanthropy in my work and personal life.
I try to remember it’s not always about ME, rather how can I best serve YOU!
We may be suffering from an obesity epidemic in this country, but at the same time we also have a disproportionate amount of people who suffer from hunger in our own country as well as globally. Everyone has a right to access fresh, healthy food.
Simple actions can have a tremendous effect on an individual or your community. Please consider supporting these wonderful groups. Maybe you would like to suggest an agency to add to this list! Email me at
