Healthy easy-to-prepare weeknight meals can help get you through the hustle and bustle of December. Plus, with all the extra treats of the season, you’ll be happy to have good options at the ready. We’ll prepare the basic building block base recipes in class. You’ll leave with your containers full and recipes for the week. Take home herb roasted chicken thighs, savory white beans and turkey sausages, roasted vegetables and winter squash, blanched greens and green vegetables ready to sauté, wholesome cooked grains for salads and side dishes, washed and crisped salad greens with homemade Meyer lemon vinaigrette and winter herb pesto (good on just about anything). Class Includes a light lunch. Visit www.ahealthykitchensac.com for more information.
