Everyone needs to eat, but it can feel like a real chore some days, doubly so if you’re eating on a budget (and who isn’t?). This session is designed to bring some joy, and ease, into your everyday life by focusing on meal planning, picking recipes, reusing ingredients, saving money every time you shop, and stocking and making the most of those staple ingredients. We’re moving beyond canned beans and ramen packages here, though we may include those ingredients in a glow up recipe. 

This workshop is designed to accommodate a wide range of cooking skills and interests. So, whether you’re new to cooking and can barely make toast or if you make your own sourdough bread, there’s something for everyone. 

Participants will leave with: meal planning template, a few easy recipes, a pantry staples list, and resources list to keep you inspired on your meal planning journey. 

While this series is crafted with ages 18-30 in mind, all ages are welcome to attend.  

Registration isn’t required to attend (despite what is says below), but those that register will receive email reminders about the event.

About the Series: 

Being an adult can be overwhelming. From budgeting to meal planning to seemingly endless loads of laundry, it’s hard to figure it all out–but you don’t have to do it alone. Join us twice a month for Adulting 101, where we’ll talk about finances, mending clothes, meal planning on a budget, and so much more. These workshops are designed to help you learn the skills we weren’t taught in school. While this series is crafted with ages 18-30 in mind, all ages are welcome to attend. 

Registration isn’t required to attend, but those that register will receive email reminders about the event and in some workshops, only registered participants will be guaranteed supplies to support their new skill.
