Cooking With Ellen E-Newsletter!
May 29th
Hi Everyone,
I’ve enjoyed being “Cooking with Ellen” for nearly a year now and with the start of my dietetic internship I’m going to be unable to continue cooking on the show each week. If enough people are interested, I want to start a new healthy cooking e-newsletter to be sent each Wednesday so I can continue send you a healthy recipe and a healthy cooking tip each week (I promise no extra junk mail!).
So, if you’d like to subscribe, please just send an email to: nutrition.ellen@yahoo.com and I’ll add you to the list. I hope to send out my first E-Newsletter the first Wednesday of June!
Thanks for watching and supporting me over the past year. I’ve enjoyed doing the show so much and have learned alot while doing it.
God bless,
Ellen
