Healthy Cooking Classes

Writer/Producer: Kristy Vaughn

Nutrition can’t be found from a drive-thru window.  Wellness begins with the food items placed in a grocery cart.  Eating fresh, whole foods from the grocery store or a local farmer’s market can be the difference between feeling energized or sluggish all day.  But in our microwave society, often packaged and processed food becomes a cheap-and-easy substitute for nourishment.  A healthy cooking class can inspire creativity in the kitchen through simple recipes anyone can prepare.  The free or low-cost classes empower attendees with knowledge about healthier, more natural alternative to meals found in plastic packages, cans, or the frozen food section.  A few discerning choices, coupled with basic preparation skills, can promote lifelong wellness and happiness.
