Cooking Healthy for the Holidays Seminar

“Healthy” and “holiday” don’t usually find themselves in the same sentence, especially when it comes to food. But that doesn’t have to be the case.

Join Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service in collaboration with the Decatur Public Library, for a healthy cooking class where you can learn to reduce the amounts of fats and sugar usually found in holiday recipes. With a little planning and a few simple changes, you can enjoy great tasting holiday foods while maintaining a healthy lifestyle and avoiding the weight gain often associated with the holiday season.

Making wise menu choices can be a challenge and sometimes keep you from enjoying these festive occasions. Healthy eating can be part of party menus too.  For those who want to find out more about eating healthy during the holidays and enjoying those special-occasion meals, please join me for the presentation  ‘Focus on the ‘Stars’ Cooking Healthy for the Holidays’ on November 16 . The hour long seminar will be held at 6:30 p.m. at the Decatur Public Library at 1700 Highway 51 S. in Decatur. To register, call the library at 940-393-0290, visit their website at www.decaturpubliclibrary.com, or ask at the front desk or call Texas A&M AgriLife Extension at 940-627-3341.
