Mark your calendars now to join us for food and fun at the 2015 Dinner Tonight Healthy Cooking School! The cooking school will be presented by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service on Monday, February 2, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Creative Arts Building on the grounds of the Extraco Events Center located at 4601 Bosque Boulevard in Waco. The doors will open at 5:00 PM so participants may visit exhibits and vendors. If you would like more information on becoming a vendor, please contact Kate Whitney at 254-435-2331 or email at klwhitney@ag.tamu.edu.
A variety of demonstrations will be featured for this year’s Mediterranean inspired recipes. These recipes are cost effective, easy to prepare, and fit into a healthy meal plan. Dinner Tonight is designed to help busy families enjoy healthy and delicious meals, and we even provide fitness tips to help people become more active. The goal of the event is to promote family mealtime, teach families healthy meal planning and food preparation techniques, and promote Texas agriculture.
Television anchor, Taina Maya, from Waco will emcee the event which will also feature Jessica Theimer, Dinner Tonight Healthy Cooking expert. In addition, a tasting panel will be selected from the audience to provide comment on the foods.
In addition to the live cooking demonstrations, participants will follow along from their personal copy of the 2015 Dinner Tonight Cookbook which will be included in each registration bag. The unique cookbook contains 10 meal plans, and all recipes include the entrée, sides, and dessert – perfect for busy families. Door prizes will be given throughout the event.
The cost of the event is $20. Registration may be completed online at https://agriliferegister.tamu.edu/dinnertonight or by phone at 979-845-2604. A special partnership with Scott and White Health Plan will allow their members to attend at no cost. This membership will need to be denoted at registration. Health plan members may be asked to verify their membership through presentation of the member card at the event.
