Hello, my name is Gerilyn and I am the owner of Healthy Bites! I have 3 children: Riley, Sydney, and Bobby. Like all working parents, I struggled with making quick and easy food that would be both delicious and healthy. I started Healthy Bites after being disappointed with typical school foods. I thought that there should be an option for kids to enjoy healthy meals, but also advance their palate. I created diverse menus that can also help parents get ideas on what to serve their children at home! I also enjoy creating fun and exciting menus for birthdays and other celebrations. This allows me to get the creative juices flowing, and form something truly unique and interesting, and thus: Party Bites. I also really enjoy teaching cooking classes to show everyone of all ages that eating healthy doesn’t have to limit you. Hearing from my current and past students on how they’ve utilized what I thought them at home is incredibly gratifying. In a world where processed foods are acceptable, knowing that others are no longer intimidated by eating healthy makes me overjoyed!
Hello there!!! My name is Melissa Mercuri. I moved to Minnesota from Boston, MA about a year ago and have been working with Healthy Bites since September of 2014. I am a wife and mother to two beautiful princesses named Charlotte and Ellie. I grew up in a huge Italian family, learning to cook from my grandmother Gracie, my aunties and my mother. I love teaching my Healthy Bites family some of our traditions. And, of course, making the “gravy” for our centers ( were I’m from we call tomato sauce gravy) as well as ” Charlotte’s pasta and trees” (creamy pesto tortellini) and pizza chicken (chicken parm bake).
My name is Anna Flolo Weekley. I have been working with Healthy Bites since March 2014. My husband Mike and I share 4 daughters in our beautifully blended family. My family is my passion. I love creating new dishes and playing with flavors. I was easily drawn to Healthy Bites and their mission to provide healthier, tasty alternatives to everyday dishes. I am proud to be a part of Healthy Bites and am a happy taste tester!t.
