To help mark both Valentine’s Day and Heart month, Hy-Vee dietitians have planned eight heart healthy flavored meals for two for the next freezer prep class at the Liberty Community Center at 12:30 p.m. on Feb. 10.
This class eliminates the hardest parts of meal prep – planning, shopping and prepping! Hy-Vee staff will do all the shopping and pre-prep of the ingredients for each recipe. Only cooking for one? Just package your meals individually and go home with 16 ready-to-cook meals.
“This takes all the work out of meal prep while also teaching people how to eat healthier with delicious recipes,” Brigitte Thomas, Community Program Coordinator said.
The class costs $75, which covers all of the ingredients to prepare:
• Slow Cooker Minestrone
• Salmon Foil Packets
• Black Pepper and Walnut Crusted Chicken Breasts
• Blackened Chicken with Avocado Cream Sauce
• Whole Wheat Pasta Primavera
• Stuffed Pepper Soup
• Easy Margherita Pizza
• Slow Cooker Three Bean Turkey Chili Baked Potatoes
At the event, tables will be assembled with recipe ingredients and each participant will fill gallon freezer bags, following along with each recipe. You’ll go home with meals to pop in the freezer and cooking instructions for when you’re ready to eat. Cost is just $75 for 16 ready-to-cook meals.
