SNAP-Ed Workshop Descriptions:

Quick, Healthy Meals & Snacks!

Set yourself up for success! Get tips for stocking your pantry in a way that makes meal and snack prep a breeze. Learn how to save time and save money while still making meals and snacks your family will actually eat, that you can feel good about serving.

Eating Healthy on a Budget: Yes, it can happen!

Unhealthy food is indeed often more accessible and cheaper than healthy alternatives. Unfortunately, it’s these very foods that make us unhealthy and overweight, causing all sorts of INCREDIBLY expensive medical problems down the road. Healthy eating on a budget IS possible, it just takes a game plan and a little creativity.
