The public is invited to attend free, live nutrition and cooking classes via Zoom that will be offered by the Giant Company's team of dietitians this November and December.

On Tuesdays at noon, the dietitians will offer a new series on building fall and holiday-filled charcuterie boards, which contain snacks such as chocolate and cheese.

On Mondays at 10:30 a.m., mini chefs age 6 and younger will enjoy a story and create nourishing snacks from fig oatmeal bars to cranberry popcorn balls and Rudolph celery sticks. Every Wednesday at 4 p.m., junior chefs ages 7 to 18 can sharpen their culinary skills by making dishes such as pear and cheddar turkey with maple cinnamon dip or green Grinch mini muffins.

Families can also come together in the kitchen on Saturdays at 10 a.m. to start some new baking traditions. The dietitians will offer recipes that range from purple sweet potato pie to cranberry pecan bars and cookies.

The dietitians will offer classes on creating side dishes on Thursdays at noon, covering recipes that use cranberries, sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts.

Several classes will focus on survival tips and resources, busy season snacks and holiday hacks throughout December. On Mondays, Dec. 6, 13, and 20, at 7 p.m., wellness workshops will be offered that focus on diabetes, weight management and holiday stress reduction.

All classes are free to attend, but advance registration is required for each class at http://www.thegiantcompanynutritionists.eventbrite.com. A complete listing of all of Giant's virtual nutrition classes and ingredients needed for each class are also available on the event page. In addition, customers can earn 50 Choice Rewards points when they register, provide their card number and attend the entire nutrition class.
