Pantry Staples
The Health Benefits and Culinary Uses of Star Nutrition Ingredients
Monday, March 30th Time: 10:00am
Everyone has an opinion about what to feed your body. You need to be only the slightest bit interested in food shopping to see the mind-boggling selections in your supermarket of ingredients that can answer the big food-health equation for you. Some of the healthiest, tastiest ingredients are easy to use in new recipes and can also be less expensive than you think.
Please join Barbara Gold, RD, CPC, BayPath’s Nutritionist to hear about Pantry Staples. You will learn about what to have on hand and how to create good, healthy food with star nutrition ingredients.
