The Griffin Center for Healthy Living Teaching Kitchen will host a free cooking demonstration about the nutritional benefits of beans.
Bean There, Done That will be Thurs., Dec. 18 at 5 p.m. at The Griffin Center for Healthy Living at Quarry Walk, 300 Oxford Road, Oxford.
Former Executive Director of Massaro Farm and sustainable nutrition expert Caty Poole will discuss how the holidays are a great time for beans as they are easy on the wallet and are a key ingredient in many recipes for holiday leftovers. Poole will demonstrate how to make a Ham and Bean Soup that is healthy, comforting and packed with protein.
