Between the rising cost of fuel, housing, and food, our wallets are taking a major hit this year. Unfortunately, we don’t have a lot of control when it comes to fuel and housing, but we can control how much money we spend on food. Instead of resorting to cheaper, processed foods that lead to a reduction in food quality and increased rates of obesity, we can teach a few key budget cooking skills to save hundreds of dollars a month and the health of our patients and their families. In this presentation, we’ll delve into 3 simple but proven effective cooking techniques that reduce waste, improve diet status, and most importantly, make food delicious at home. Presented by Breana Lai Killeen, MPH, RD, the former Test Kitchen Manager for EatingWell Magazine and Le Cordon Bleu trained chef.
