The curriculum for three new workshops designed to make healthy eating easier for service members and their families is currently being finalized. In partnership with the Maryland University of Integrative Health, the workshops will help participants navigate around obstacles such as limited cooking supplies, minimal kitchen space, barebone appliances and tight budgets so that cooking healthily is less overwhelming.
Standing on the shoulders of one of the five pillars of resiliency — physical — we believe achieving proper nutrition is one of the cores of holistic health.
Workshop #1: Meal in a Mug
GOAL: Teach participants how to prepare homemade meals using nothing but a mug, very few utensils and a microwave.
Workshop #2: Healthy Meal Planning on a Budget
GOAL: Teach participants how to plan, shop for, and prepare healthy meals on a limited budget.
Workshop #3: Smart Shopping
GOAL: Teach participants how to shop for healthy foods on a limited budget.
Pilot workshops are currently being planned for early Spring and will be held in community kitchens on Fort Meade until the renovation of the Education and Resiliency Center at Kuhn Hall opens in late 2022.
