The class format works as easy as 1-2-3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1<\/strong> Before class, you get an email with the recipe, shopping list
and detailed shopping notes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2<\/strong> Buy what you need over the next couple days<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3<\/strong> When it\u2019s time to cook, just bring a laptop or smartphone to your kitchen
and follow along as we cook together<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the time class is over, you have something new for dinner
+ some new learning about healthy eating. How fun!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mary- the way you structure and plan your Cook Without Cooking series is great! By sending out the plan and shopping list in advance each week, you helped me develop a habit of meal planning and preparation.

Second, to make a healthy meal, you must know what a healthy meal looks lik<\/strong>e<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowing what’s healthy and what’s not can be pretty confusing. So you’ll learn our approach that “Healthy eating is actually a lot easier than you think.” There are just two main rules: 1) eat real whole foods made of only fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains and good fats; and 2) don’t eat test tube, food-like products (e.g., refined sugar, refined white flour, and products containing any other gobbledygook ingredients.)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So far so good? “Yes,\u201d you might be thinking, “but I . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
