Start Eating the Med Way – Holiday Edition

A seasonal adaptation of the Mediterranean diet is the focus of Start Eating the Med Way – Holiday Edition, a dietary class held at the North Port Library. Led by UF/IFAS Extension Sarasota County, the session provides strategies for incorporating heart-healthy fats, lean proteins, and whole grains into traditionally heavy winter holiday meals. The instructor demonstrates how to modify familiar festive recipes without losing their comforting flavors. The practical class equips home cooks with the nutritional knowledge to navigate holiday gatherings while maintaining a balanced, sustainable approach to food.
