A new year means a chance to refocus when it comes to the meals that people and their families are enjoying around the table. The Giant Company's team of dietitians is ready with plenty of virtual nutrition classes to help home cooks bring more balance in January and ideas to show their heart some extra love in February. All nutrition classes are offered free and live via Zoom.

On Mondays at 10:30 a.m., mini chefs age 6 and younger will enjoy a story and create nourishing snacks from polar bear toast to love bug fruit cups and penguin bagels.

Families are invited to gather together in the kitchen for some baking fun on Saturday mornings at 10 a.m. January classes will feature "Frozen" fun with Olaf personal pizzas and Elsa's frozen blueberry cookies. In February, cooks can bake up red velvet sugar cookies and quick homemade pretzels.

The Giant Company dietitians are also offering wellness workshops every Monday at 7 p.m. and Healthy Choices for Weight Control classes on Wednesdays at noon.

Classes also include "Better for You" baking on Wednesdays at 10 a.m. Attendees will learn how to prepare mango muffins with coconut lime streusel and lemon blueberry coffee cake. To help families on those busy nights, the dietitians will offer freezer meal prep classes on Thursdays at noon. Recipes will include Greek pasta bake and teriyaki beef and broccoli.

February is Heart Month and the dietitians at the Giant Company have classes scheduled throughout the month. On Mondays at 7 p.m. participants can learn more about heart health and how sodium, fiber and fats can all play a role. "Love your Spuds" will take place every Tuesday at noon with recipes for sweet potato burgers and kale and potato mash with feta. The dietitians can also help with adding nutrients to the family's pantry with suggestions for cooking with canned goods, dried beans and global grains.

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 the Giant Company's virtual nutrition classes and the 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.
