Being healthy is more than just moving our bodies. It's also about fueling those bodies with good, delicious nutrition. It is important to establish good eating habits at any time in our lives. We didn't "miss the boat" if we start later. The important thing is to start. This page will have links to upcoming Zoom virtual cooking classes. Those classes will be recorded and uploaded for later viewing as well. Check out the schedule below. You do not need to know how to cook or have every tool to do the recipes. I believe in adaptability and practicality when cooking.
