Healthy eating isn’t always easy. With vision loss, the thought of cooking something healthy is often too much to think about! It may be easier to pull something out of a box and pop it in the oven or microwave.

However, prepared meals in a box can be on the pricey side. Healthier food options can also mean more expensive.

How can someone with vision loss eat healthy, stay on a budget and not get frustrated in the kitchen?

Our new workshop, the Accessible Pantry: Healthy Eating on a String Bean Budget, is packed with ideas to help you maintain healthy eating habits, stay on a budget and gain the confidence to do it independently!

You’ll learn how to:

• choose food items that are healthy and less expensive,
• access and store recipes for cooking on your own,
• label and organize for independent food prep,
• cook in bulk and portion with less mess, and
• minimize food waste with storage tips.
