« Yes, I said, I am a recovered bulimic. » How lovely to just be able to share the secret of my past like it was no big deal…so refreshing. Cooking with “my guys” at Vanderburgh House fills me with energy, hope and optimism. Last night we blanched, squeezed and finely chopped six bags of spinach to mix with ricotta, Parmesan and nutmeg. With sticky hands we rolled these beautiful gnocchi. As requested, I taught them how to cut open a chicken breast, like a book, pound it flat then “bread it” in flour, eggs and breadcrumbs.

Vanderburgh House- Boston’s 3-stage Structured Sober Living for Men
Our program isn’t cookie cutter; we want to get to know you and help ensure that you have what is necessary for you to achieve your goals. We help you see, what it is about you, you may have a hard time seeing. When teaching cooking with “my guys”, I am not a professional cook; I am a human being, cooking. Just because we may dump too much cinnamon in an apple turnovers doesn’t mean we aren’t “good enough”; we just let it go and move forward.
We made a mushroom, parsley, garlic and lemon sauce (not shown here) to bring it all together. A study of 300 individuals whom resided in Sober Living Homes (SLH) was published in 2010 by a division of the NIH (National Institute of Health) (Douglas L. Polcin, 2010). That study found that freestanding SLH’s offer enough structure, with no formal treatment, creating an optimal environment for residents ready for the next step. SLH’s provide an environment for individuals capable of handling a fair amount of autonomy and wish to take personal responsibility for their recovery. Love the impact you are making and the relationships you are building with just time, a kitchen and acceptance.
