While this may work initially, consistently eating the same foods can become boring and has the potential to lead to unhealthy habits. Join McCaffrey’s Registered Dietitian, Jill Kwasny, for an informative and fun nutrition program “Breaking Out of the Food Rut.” Jill will touch on meal planning and food prep hacks in an effort to jazz up your kitchen table.
Presenter: Jill Kwasny is a licensed and registered dietitian and certified diabetic educator and has worked with McCaffrey’s for thirty years.
