Each adult class is based on healthy lifestyle topics, including taste testing, menu planning, disease prevention, easy, healthy recipes, money-saving tips and food safety. At each session, participants receive free items, such as pens, calendars, measuring spoons, grocery lists, magnets, measuring cups, calcium bookmarks, refrigerator/freezer thermometers, food safety brochures and recipes for each session.
