TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) – Founder of SENT Topeka, Jonathan Sublet knows a thing or two about nutrition and the road it takes to get there.
“Back in 2002, I weighed 616 pounds and one of the things that really helped me on my journey was going to a dietitian and learning about healthy meal prep and portion control,” Sublet said.
Starting Thursday, October 17 at 6:00 p.m., SENT Topeka is starting a free 6-week healthy eating cooking class.
“Shawnee County K-State Extension will be coming in with their SNAP-Ed program and they’ll be hosting a healthy meal prep here in our community party room,” Sublet said.
The food used in the classes can be found in the non-profit’s food pantry.
“Part of our mission with the Southside Fueling Station is not only closed the gap on food insecurity, but also nutrition insecurity,” Sublet said. ”With the addition of this class, they’re able to get the skills to use those healthy nutritious foods in the best possible way.”
The K-State Research Extension has been teaching healthy food classes in Shawnee County for years.
Each class is designed to help you feel more confident in the kitchen.
