SUMMARY:Booked for Dinner Supper Club: Crave\, Cook\, Nourish
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our most popular event — our beloved Potluck Supper Club!\nThis April\, we’re diving into by Steph Grasso\, a Virginia author! \nDevelop a healthier\, happier relationship with food by tapping into these 80-plus nourishing recipes with zero intimidation factor from dietitian\, nutrition expert\, and TikTok sensation Steph Grasso Dietitian. \nThe internet is filled with diet fads and nutrition misinformation\, and registered dietitian Steph Grasso is here to steer you clear of all of it. In her debut cookbook and nutrition go-to\, Steph debunks diet culture and offers up fun and easy ways to make healthy\, accessible\, and affordable food choices. Crave\, Cook\, Nourish subscribes to the notion that all bites are good bites when balanced: Why restrict your favorite foods when you can simply add more nutrients to your plate? Steph lays out the basic building blocks of nutrition so you can make healthful choices with ease. \nStarting with a brief history of diet culture\, Crave\, Cook\, Nourish is packed with tips and hacks to make grocery shopping and meal prep feel like second nature. Whether you have a super busy schedule or limited funds\, Steph is here to show you how to make easy and attainable healthy lifestyle choices in your own kitchen. \nLife is hard\, and Steph believes that eating a tasty\, balanced meal and feeling your best absolutely should not be.
