6-Week Cooking Matters Course

The Idaho Foodbank and Eat Smart Idaho are teaming up to bring Cooking Matters for Families to the Mini-Cassia. This 6-week course will be an interactive experience to help adults learn how to choose and prepare healthy foods on a budget with limited equipment. This fun and informative class will include hands-on food preparation, label reading, meal planning, and nutrition tips. Our goal is to help families make the most of their food dollars. Each class will conclude with a nutritious meal that participants and instructors will sit down to eat together. All participants who attend 5 out of the 6 classes will be eligible for a grand prize drawing. Children under the age of 16 must have adult supervision and all members of the household are encouraged to attend together.
