The quantity and quality of the fats we eat and cook with is important but has become even more confusing with all the choices we now have in this food category.

Protein as we Age

Protein has become a buzzword on labels with protein powders flying off the shelves. The amount of protein we need, especially as we age, may be confusing so let’s get together and sort it out. Health and Fitness Specialist, Mia Bremer, leads the discussion but the purpose of Nutrition Chat is to share what we know and what we need to know when it comes to getting the right amount of protein in our daily diet.

Eating Single and Seasonally
Wednesday, April 23 - 10:30 - Noon
I have a request for the topic of cooking for one and eating seasonally and thought, maybe we could combine these into one interesting discussion. Health and Fitness Specialist, Mia Bremer, leads the discussion but the purpose of Nutrition Chat is to share ideas on what you do when cooking for one and how to incorporate seasonal foods when shopping. We can talk about what IS seasonal in Minnesota and where to shop. A light lunch relating to the topic is served.
