These sessions are designed to ramp up the nutritional values of your breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks. You will gain useful information so your choices at the grocery store are wiser and healthier. Eating with a budget and good taste in mind are both possible. Find out if you are eating adequate amounts of nutrients, both large and small. There will be recipes you can later make in the comfort of your own kitchen. Each class will focus on one of the four topics: breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.
