About

**This workshop will be live streamed via Zoom.** 

Learn how to make these delicious seasonal dishes that together create a well-balanced family meal. Bonus techniques learned include: roasting peppers and removing kernels from fresh corn.

In a time when families are dealing with two careers, longer working hours, and numerous extracurricular activities, the fate of the shared, home cooked, family meal seems in jeopardy. Juggling commitments to make room for shared family meals has rewards!  We know that eating meals together increases the enjoyment of the meal, solidifies family bonds, and encourages communication about the day’s activities. If we are willing to make the extra effort required to share common meals, our lives are richer; solidarity is built.

Gather these late summer ingredients, and join Cynthia to prepare Fresh Corn Chowder with Roasted Poblano and Fall Greens Vegetarian Caesar. Together they create a simple, balanced meal, full of flavor and ready to share!
