Globetrotters - a four week series of delicious international flavors taking us from Mexico to India and a couple of places in between.
Cooking for Young Adults - This course is for graduating high school seniors, and teaches them to make a broad range of simple, healthy meals to ensure that they eat fresh food in college and beyond. It’s all too easy for them to rely on Ramen and fast food, setting them up for compromised health. But on this course they’ll learn how to eat right for the rest of their lives.
Oodles O’Noodles - Mac and Cheese and stir fries CAN be healthy if you do them right. Learn how to make them guilt free. We’ll help you take these classic meals, which have the potential to be bland and carb heavy, to a whole new level. You’ll learn how to add color, taste and immune fighting power with fresh ingredients.
Souper Douper - We’ll show you how to soup up your soups and season your stews to perfection using healthy ingredients. The endless possible flavor combinations for soups and stews allows for creative cooking and we’ll share our favorite and healthiest recipes. We’ve taken a long time to perfect them, and we’ll be glad to share them with you.
Flippin’ Fun - There’ll be no scraping pancakes off the ceiling with us! We’ll show you how to become a confident pancake flipper, and then how to fill them with a range of delicious, healthy, sweet and savory ingredients. Pancakes can be healthy AND taste really good and we can’t wait to share our yummy pancake secrets.
More in development - we’re busy behind the scenes dreaming up more interesting ways of making healthy cooking fun, delicious AND affordable. Just ask us what’s currently bubbling away back there!
