It’s just about Spring, the weather will be warming up and we’ll want to shift our energy from being inside and spending lots of time in the kitchen to nourishing ourselves in the outdoors. It’s a good time to learn how to make some one-pot meals to save time on prep and clean-up . . . Meals that can be made in quantity and enjoyed for a few days or frozen.
Join Chef Laura in learning to make one pot/one bowl meals such as Southern Style Vegetarian Chili, Quinoa and Spring Veggies Salad Bowl and What’s Left Over in the Fridge Stir-Fry. And for something sweet, we’ll make no-cook, trail ready Energy Balls. Hope to see you there!
