Virtual Community Class: Cooking with Melissa
December 19, 2021 @ 12:00 pm EST
Cooking with Melissa: Holiday Favorites with A Fun and Healthy Twist – Let’s get in the kitchen and cook something good for our soul and brain health! This two-part series will focus on remembering traditional Thanksgiving favorites and preparing them with a fun and healthy twist.
Part I: Easy Bake Breakfasts to Delight Your Senses and Warm Your Soul
Part II: Simple and Healthy Appetizers
Part III: Brownie Bites…Casual or Fancy
Part IV: No-Bake Sugar Cookie Bites
Melissa will talk about the health benefits of several of the ingredients in these recipes, how these recipe “makeovers” are still delicious and can keep our holiday traditions. While we cook, we’ll practice mindfulness, heighten our senses and recall past memories. So, grab your measuring spoons and spatulas, and join us for “Cooking with Melissa.”
