I am working on class/demo ideas to do in my hometown YMCA. I no longer live in the area but visit frequently - every other month or so - and want to keep my business going while I am there and would love to find a recruit there as well.:chef:
I have submitted several ideas to the program coordinator. My ideas so far have been to do a Healthy Holiday Baking class the week of Thanksgiving - I have lots of tips for lowering the fat and upping the nutrition in baked goods such as subbing applesauce or fruit puree for oil, egg whites or a mixture of egg whites and whole eggs in place of whole eggs and using fruit (fresh and dried), nuts and whole grains in baked goods.
In January I thought I would do the White Chicken Chili in the microwave. It is light, quick and inexpensive. It's also a perfect cold weather food.
In March I am considering doing a power cooking demo and using it as a suggestion for eating homemade fresh foods rather than stopping at the deli or drive thru on the way home. Also, it is budget friendly and can still have the hot meals needed on a cold March evening.
Late spring/early summer I suggested a demo using fresh vegetables and focusing on salads. There are lots of tools that can be used with vegetables.
I would love everybody's input on these ideas. I have never done a class of this type. I know it is not specifically for selling but for getting my name out in the community and promoting my business. I really want this to be a win/win situation for myself and the YMCA.
Thanks,
Sharon
