Learn how to cook healthy food on a budget! This no-cost, 6 session cooking class is offered in partnership with Healthy Acadia. The series offers participants an opportunity to learn about easy ways to prepare healthy, family-friendly, delicious meals and stretch food dollars. Participants work together to create a meal each week and sample their recipe. Free take-home ingredients will be provided for all participants. This series is designed to engage community members who are experiencing low income, and who want to gain knowledge and skills to eat health food on a limited budget. Participants are requested to commit to all six classes in the series.

Thinking about incorporating more plant based eating into your diet? No preaching, just offering plant food alternatives and how to reimagine recipes with whole food substitutions. We will prepare several recipes to try, and Stefani will show and teach participants how to shop and cook healthier while saving money.  Knife skills included. Please bring containers to take home any leftovers.
