Cooking Basics: Pasta & Rice
Is the kitchen just the place you fill your water bottle? Want some meal options that don’t include a paper bag and extra napkins? Why not learn some cooking tips for those busy days or when the money is tight? A KSU dietitian will show you how to cook some basic meals whether you have a full kitchen, a common kitchen in the dorm, or just a microwave in the lobby. And, as always, there will be snacks! We will be making some quick, budget-friendly options. Noodles with sauce, rice with stir fry. Yum! Space is limited and registration is required.
