Back to Basics Cooking Class

My friend Shelley from One Roast Vegetable is offering 2 readers a full membership to the Back to Basic Cooking Lessons. The next Back to Basics Cooking Class begins on Tuesday, September 15th.

It’s an online class that takes place in your own home (no traveling!), and you can work at your own pace, so very low stress :)

Each week you receive a new lesson, and you can follow along with her step-by-step instructions and videos.  You’ll learn the basics, like how to make a perfect hard boiled egg, how to roast a chicken (and what to do with the leftovers).  And I know for a fact that in this class she’s going to share her 4-ingredient recipe for cinnamon ice cream that’s a real show-stopper!

If you’d like to see some of the preview lessons Shelley has created for the Back to Basics Cooking Class, then you should definitely sign up here and check them out.

Lesson #2 - Homemade Egg McMuffins

In Lesson 2, she teaches a fast and easy way to make a homemade egg ‘mcmuffin’ sandwich…that I guarantee will cost you less and be better for your body than running through the drive-through!

She also offers 2 other online cooking classes:

If you’re a home schooling mom who is looking for some perfect Home Economics curriculum … this giveaway is for you.

If you’re paralyzed in the kitchen or you’d like to improve your cooking skills … this giveaway is for you.

And if you’re worried about how much take-out and prepared food you’re eating and you want to learn how to make more things ‘homemade’ … this giveaway is for you.

Improving my cooking skills…I just need a boost of confidence. Lessons help me realize that I am not a bad cook…just in need of a little assistance. I love trying new things and my family is such a good sport in supporting my whims!

I’ve recently become very concerned with the lack of nutrition in most convenience foods available and know that my only choice is to “soup up” (pun intended :) my skills in the kitchen. I have 4 young children and a hungry husband to feed and if I want them to be healthy, happy and pass these skills along, I HAVE to make this happen. :)
