Good Mood Family Dinners

Start the school year off right with a healthy, stress-free dinner that brings the whole family together.

In this virtual cooking class, we’ll prepare a family meal with healthy recipes that are easy to make using simple ingredients and tasty enough to tempt even the pickiest eater. You’ll discover how to bring sound nutrition into your family meals using ingredients that have skin, gut, mood, and brain boosting benefits, providing better sleep, energy and focus for all your loved ones.

As we cook together, the instructor will share tips to help you simplify family meals, including planning strategies, no cook dinners, and one-pot recipes. By the end of class, you’ll have a delicious meal to enjoy with your family as well as a toolbox of cooking strategies to put to use during the busy school year.

Ingredient substitutions, including protein options, will be demonstrated or suggested to accommodate most dietary needs and preferences. The recipes, including ingredients and equipment needed, will be sent out at least one week before the class so you’ll have time to shop for ingredients in advance. The class is intended for adult participants, but younger helpers are welcome to join and cook along with their caregiver.

This class will be recorded and a one-week link to the recording will be shared with all registered participants. To receive incentive points, attend at least 80% of the live session or listen to the entire recording within one week.
