— Are you looking for quick, easy and healthy meals to serve your family? Check out Dinner Tonight Healthy Cooking School on Tuesday, September 11, 2012. This event will be held at the Texas AgriLife Research and Extension Center. The facility is located between the Bush Turnpike and Campbell Road at the intersection of Coit Road and McCallum Blvd.

Doors open at 5 p.m., and cooking school runs from 6-8 p.m. The cooking school will feature demonstrations of three easy and nutritious menus that can be prepared in 30 minutes or less. Participates will receive a cookbook consisting of an additional seven menus and 25 recipes.

Registration fee is $20 per person. Register online at TexasHealth.org/Dallas; click on "Dinner Tonight." You may also call 1.877.847.9355 to register.

“While there are many groups that conduct cooking schools, we believe our Dinner Tonight Healthy Cooking School has a unique niche,” states Carrie T. Brazeal with Texas AgriLife Extension Service, a sponsor of the event. “Our recipes are cost effective, easy to prepare and fit into a healthy meal plan. We are targeting busy people who still want to make time for meal preparation and feel good about what they are serving their families as well as themselves. Our goals are to promote family meal time and teach families healthy meal planning and food preparation techniques.”

Why do they always hold these things so early on a week day? How is someone that works until 5:30 supposed to get anywhere in Dallas within 30 minutes.

I agree. I was about to go to the link and sign up and then realized it was on a Tuesday. I guess this is geared to people who don't have to work? Too bad, sounded like a great class.

I attended one in Waco and it was well worth the trouble! My daughters are attending in Dallas. The lunch and snack tips I shared with them from my class have been great for the grandchildren and I know my daughters need the healthy dinner tips!

Freddy's Frozen Custard

I asked what a Steakburger is and the friendly staff stated "it is a very high grade of lean beef that is hand-crafted" thin on the edges and thicker in the middle. This makes for carmelization on the edges and a juicy center. The Hawaiian is a must eat on the custard menu. I will definitely be bringing my friends!
