The Cardiovascular Health Learning Collaborative is excited to invite community members to a free, healthy cooking class (led by UNL Extension Educator, Brenda Aufdenkamp) designed to help make everyday meals a little easier—and a little healthier.
During this class, participants will:
- Learn simple, affordable cooking tips you can use at home
- Prepare and sample a healthy recipe together
- Build confidence using common pantry staples
As an added bonus, free blood pressure screenings will be available during the event for anyone who would like to take advantage of them. Screenings are optional, quick, and confidential.
This class is open to the community, free to attend, and no prior cooking experience is needed—just come ready to learn and enjoy.
