A Cure for COVID Cooking Fatigue

Raise your hand if you have COVID cooking fatigue! I confess to recurring bouts with this condition. From what I see on social media and in the news, I’m not alone. What can you do? Buy prepared foods at the supermarket...order carry-out from local restaurants...pay for a meal delivery service. But these options aren’t always the best for your budget or your health. How about prescribing a 30-minute video that just might cure COVID cooking fatigue? Our 25 Ingredients, 15 Meals video makes food shopping and meal preparation a breeze for even the most reluctant cooks. Your audience will learn a lot in just half an hour, including:

• Menu planning.
• Shopping from a list.
• Healthy cooking methods.
• Money-, time-, and calorie-saving strategies.
• Cook it once and serve it 2-3 times

Beyond COVID cooking fatigue, 25 Ingredients, 15 Meals would work well for teaching:

1. Weight loss groups
2. Families or individuals at risk for food insecurity
3. Home-school students who need lessons on cooking, nutrition, math, or budgeting
4. Addiction recovery programs
5. Boy Scout, Girl Scout, and other youth groups
6. Students (middle school, high school, and college)
