Salt and sugar scrubs moisture your body and remove the dead skin from the drying cold of winter. The lip balms moisturize and protect your delicate skin from sun and wind. Store purchased scrubs and lip balms contain many "extra" ingredients our body does not need and can be costly to our wallets. Come, make and take a rich lip balm, and two fragrant body scrubs to give as a gift or to keep. Essential oils, coconut oil and shea butters will be used.

Join us for a hands-on class for tasting and making all things Gluten Free. Do you need a good pancake recipe or want a chewy bread like ciabatta? Maybe your muffins are too heavy or you have craved a good soft pretzel. Not to mention GF crackers are expensive. Come for a tasting of all things yummy but free of wheat, rye and barley. Try your hand at creating muffins or the dough for bread. Bring home recipes and your dough or the finished muffins. Bring a large bowl or covered container to class with you.

If it’s a board for 3, 30, or 350 Kirsten has arranged them all, and you can too! The best boards contain many elements that can be prepped ahead, so cook along with Kirsten as she makes Quick Pickled Vegetables and Spiced Nuts, then follow along—or take notes for later—as she adds fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, and/or dips then kicks it up a notch with edible garnishes. We’ll talk about what elements make up a well-rounded cheese board, how to arrange cured meats for charcuterie boards, when to go beyond the traditional, and how to source local products. Recipe handout will be provided before class along with a Zoom link. Class recording shared afterwards.

Be prepared for your next holiday “get-together” with this class and sign up with a friend for more baking fun. We will mix, bake, decorate and prepare 10 different holiday treats completely from scratch using the freshest ingredients such as creamy butter, rich chocolates and nuts. No holiday is complete without the sprinkles, the spices and the peppermint. They are also all freezable so that you can eat them later in the season if desired. Please bring containers, wax paper or parchment to bring 10+ dozen treats home in. All ingredients will be provided.

A vital part of every retirement or resettlement discussion involves the roadmap of issues that help us decide where we want to call home! Is it Taxes, the Political Landscape, the Weather, the location of Family assets, Debt or Income concerns in Retirement, Cost of Living, Health Concerns or . . . our Friends are already there! When should we start this discussion? Did you know many States do not tax Social Security, Pensions or other Qualified Retirement Income sources? Which are the worst states for Estate Taxes? How do we establish Domicile? How about quality of medical resources and retirement facilities – who is good, who is not-so-good? All these issues will be raised and discussed in an open and friendly manner with questions encouraged. A Zoom link will be sent a day or two prior to class.
