If you would like to meet me ahead of time, feel free to join me in my 45-minute Freezer Meal French Toast Casserole or Nutella French Toast Casserole Class. It is a great class to stock up on an easy breakfast (I make three at a time).

    Ingredient lists are put in the classroom a week before our class.  Menus change per season and student input will help shape our meals.

 This class is for individuals that want to turn healthy meal prepping into a lifelong habit. It is a fun class full of friends adding recipes to their repertoire that can be made ahead and used as lunches and dinners.  It is for students that want to create nutritious meals, so they are available when needed. I try to offer low carb, healthy foods as much as possible, but also give students choices so they can choose what ingredients they would like to work with.
     My biggest experiences with food were within the walls of my Grandfather Joe and his brother's restaurants in NY. I literally grew up in those restaurants and loved every minute of it. I learned at a young age that cooking can bring a family closer together in the sense that it relaxes, leads to greater dialogue and of course, ends with a delicious family meal.  Parents are welcome to help with the recipes and have fun with their students. Not to mention, enjoy the meals.
      Each class will offer one or two recipes (one meal prep and one snack) and alternative recipes (by request) for those with specific dietary needs.  Students can double or even triple each recipe and have one as soon as we are done, as well as save extras for lunches if covered properly.  A week before each class students will be given a recipe and list of ingredients and items that are needed to properly prepare, cook, and store the selection.  Nutrition values will be given whenever possible. Different discussions will occur including, safety, cleaning, storing, serving, spending, volunteering and more.  On occasion, students will be in charge of choosing their own recipe, budgeting, gathering ingredients, creating and sharing in class; this way they will learn to become independent thinkers when meal planning.

Please note:  This class will start right on time (give or take a few minutes for introductions). Students are still welcome if they are late, but they may not finish by the end of class.  Unless your class is a new section which starts at class one, we will be following the dates listed below.
