Multi-County Cooking Well with Diabetes Resumes in October

For those with Type 2 diabetes or just interested in healthy cooking ideas, the Multi-County Cooking Well with Diabetes series is right around the corner.

Austin, Colorado, Fayette, and Washington Counties will be hosting this amazing fourweek virtual program during the months of October and November (Oct. 26, Nov. 2, 9 and 16). By participating, you will learn how to prepare fantastic foods with flair. The cost of this fourweek virtual program is $15. Each week you will hear from area health and nutrition professionals and learn how to make ordinary meals into extraordinary meals.

The educational sessions will be followed by a step by step cooking demonstration video entitled “Meet Me in the Kitchen!” Get prepared to create tasty dishes using simple ingredients. Finally, all participants will have the chance to participate in a live Q&A with the health professional of the week (Oct. 29, Nov. 5, 12 and 19).
