Let's Move! Celebrating Two Years with First Lady Michelle Obama

<<Note: blog cannot go live until June 7, per the White House. >>
It's been a humbling couple of weeks for me! I was invited by First Lady Michelle Obama to be the guest chef for a very special event in Los Angeles! Tomorrow, on Fri., June 8, I'll be guest chef at Mrs. Obama's second anniversary event celebrating the national "Let's Move!" campaign, a plan to abolish childhood obesity within a generation. Did you know that by 2030, 40 percent of Americans will be obese? The headlines call that startling, I call it a horror story. That prediction scares me! I worry for our children and future generations. It doesn't have to be this way, and there's so much we can do. 




Check your local listings and tune into NBC's Access Hollywood on June 8. And check back  here, I'll share my recipes, video and more from the event, held at the "West Coast White House," aka the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
