Do you enjoy checking out cookbooks
and trying new recipes? If so, why not join us for our new Healthy Cookbook
Club? Our first meeting will be held on
Monday, March 20th at 6:30. At this initial
meeting you will have the chance to meet and greet our Healthy Cookbook Club
facilitator, Karen DiPietro, a registered dietitian. Each month a different healthy cookbook will
be selected and participants will be able to check out a copy and spend time
trying out the various recipes at home. When the group gathers the next month,
Karen will discuss the health benefits of the various recipes and participants
can share their opinions of the meals they tried. In addition, participants will have the
opportunity to select, prepare and bring a sample of the recipe to share with
the group.
Register so we know how many
cookbooks to have on hand for the first meeting of this healthy and yummy club.
