Are you tired of staring blankly into your fridge, wondering what to make for dinner? Do you find yourself constantly ordering takeout or making the same boring meals on repeat? Fear not, hungry friend, because Megan and Kirsten are here to spice up your kitchen game in one funfilled weekend! Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned home cook, this live online class is perfect for anyone who wants to take their meal planning to the next level. From “a Month of Meatless Mondays” to “Taco Tuesdays Ten Ways” to “Souper Sundays”, there’s something for everyone. Megan and Kirsten believe that meal planning should be fun! They’ll share their favorite tips and tricks for making meal prep a breeze—from grocery shopping to prepping ingredients in advance—in a handout full of recipes. The live class will be recorded so you can rewatch at your convenience. Kirsten is a champion of cookware who enjoys teaching Instant Pot/air fryer classes from her kitchen with 3 dogs underfoot. Megan is a master of meal planning who manages her busy boys’ schedules and school with grace and style—and would never have a dog in her kitchen!
A recent transplant to Minnesota, Kirsten Madaus has been eating with local intention and sharing how to make the most of the farm share via her website Farm Fresh Feasts. In addition to sharing her love of Instant Pot and air fryer cooking with folks in person and online, Kirsten spends her days creating beautiful food and helping fight food insecurity with Minnesota Central Kitchen at Chowgirls Catering.
