A Leading Voice in Family Nutrition

Cheesy Lasagna Rolls for a Family of Four!

We are excited to offer this exclusive Cook, Learn & Take Home Workshop Series in February 2019 to make mealtime quick, fun and rewarding for you and your family!  Super mom and nutritionist Julia S. Buckley and our founder, Stacey Antine, MS, RDN designed this exciting workshop series to simply teach nutrition through hands-on cooking, sharing delicious homemade food together and sending you back home with two meals and one snack for a family of four on Wednesday, 2/13, 2/20 and/or 27 from 11:30 – 1:00 pm.

How does it work?  You can sign up for one, two or all three workshops.  We cook together in the HealthBarn USA kitchen, learn nutrition tips about the meals and snacks and after eating together, you package up your two meals and one snack for a family of four to serve at home.  Bonus:  we clean up the mess and all natural and organic food ingredients and supplies are provided.
