McCaffrey's Food Markets Free Nutrition Event

Thursday October 27, 2022
1:30 PM - 2:30 PM

Join Jill Kwasny, MS, RDN for a free nutrition program on October 27th. Jill will present "Dinner Simplified: One Pot Wonders". One-pot meals, whether in a crock pot or an Instant Pot, a skillet or a casserole, offer the pleasure of a home cooked meal prepped at your leisure. The bonus of a "one pot" dinner is a nutritious meal, often with leftovers, not to mention minimal clean up. We all remember those dreaded casseroles or favorite stews from our childhood. Reminisce about those dishes you grew up with and see how they have evolved to the healthier versions we enjoy today. Jill will demo a delicious recipe to sample, discuss cooking techniques and provide tips for one pot dishes. The program will be held on October 27th at 1:30 – 2:30, in the upstairs bistro area at the McCaffrey's Market in Princeton, located in the Princeton Shopping Center at 301 N.Harrison Street. RSVP to nutritionist@Mccaffreys.com or call 215 750-7713 to reserve your seat.

Ruha Benjamin of Princeton University discusses her new book, "Viral Justice: How We Grow the World We Want," with Nicole Fleetwood of New York University. In-person and virtual.

From the publisher: "Long before the pandemic, Ruha Benjamin was doing groundbreaking research on race, technology, and justice, focusing on big, structural changes. But the twin plagues of COVID-19 and anti-Black police violence inspired her to rethink the importance of small, individual actions. Part memoir, part manifesto, 'Viral Justice' is a sweeping and deeply personal exploration of how we can transform society through the choices we make every day.
