Presenter: Kathy Goldberg, Dietitian and Chef, MHealthy
Description: The beauty of chili is its delicious flavors, versatility and relatively low cost per serving. This three-bean chili recipe is perfect on its own, on top of spaghetti, over rice or nachos, or on a baked potato. Choose to load it with vegetables, turkey, beef or tofu. Our MHealthy chef will prepare a big, 10-cup pot of chili that can be served that day, enjoyed as leftovers or put in the freezer for future enjoyment. You’ll also get tips on the best way to cut, store and prepare your ingredients.

Through careful money management and establishing habits that help us avoid those financial potholes. In this session U-M Credit Union’s financial education manager will share ways to be smart with credit, maintain a balanced monthly spending plan, and make sure our savings goals are being met.
