Healthy Basics

This class presents health-promoting dietary strategies that are both budget-friendly and accessible. Nutrition education components help individuals to connect diet and disease outcomes while they are simultaneously learning about easy-to-prepare plant-based recipes. Not only are ingredients and recipes budget-friendly and accessible, but minimal kitchen tools are required for food preparation. Participants will take away knowledge and strategies that will help them to realize savings in the short- and long-term, both in terms of their dollars saved and enhanced quality of life. The class features a cooking demonstration with samples of delicious and health-promoting dishes, along with handouts of easy and affordable recipes participants can prepare at home. Individuals are invited to cook-along at home if they would like to prepare the food during the class. Recipes will be sent out at least one week prior to allow for obtaining the ingredients.
