Add some fun and festive meal and snack ideas to your family’s table this fall with The GIANT Company’s team of dietitians. They are back with a full schedule of free, live classes via Zoom for chefs of all ages this September and October.

“For many families, this is a busy time of the year with school, sports and other activities, which is why the team of dietitians is here to help,” said Kilene Knitter, MS, RD, LDN, dietitian with The GIANT Company. “From family meals to mini chef creations and Halloween goodies, grab your aprons and your tablets and join us in the kitchen this fall.”

Here’s a sneak peek of The GIANT Company’s dietitian classes to check out this September and October:

• Family Meals at 5 – Celebrate Family Meals Month this September by creating a nutritious and delicious meal live in under 30 minutes with one of The GIANT Company dietitians every Tuesday at 5 p.m. Sure to bring everyone around the table, meal ideas include cheesy chicken and broccoli bake, veggie stuffed peppers, au gratin sausage skillet, and pasta with chicken, tomatoes and peppers. Also, in honor of Family Meals Month, the dietitians are giving away three pantry makeover experiences worth up to $150 each so you can spend more time where it matters most – around the table! Each virtual dietitian class attended throughout September counts as one sweepstakes entry. For official rules and details, contact The GIANT Company dietitians.

• Hunger Action Awareness – September is Hunger Action Month. Join the dietitians Thursdays at 12 p.m. to learn how you can make a difference and participate in their orange plate challenge. Topics covered include paying it forward, budget savvy shopping and meal building with tools.
