Quick and Easy Meals

Do you struggle to make healthy meals for you and your family because you simply can’t find the time? Would you like to eat healthier, but you don’t really know that many quick and easy meal options? Do you or your family have the impression that healthy meals are going to be bland and tasteless? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you’re definitely going to want to be in this class.

The class will include easy and delicious recipes for the whole family, kid-friendly dishes and low-fat recipes. Basic nutrition info will be included in all sessions.

Dear Laura,

I was so sorry to hear that your shop recently closed down. Perhaps there just isn’t a large enough market for custom-made shoes in a town of this size. As you know, I have three pairs of shoes that you made for me, and I love them.

While there are not enough customers to use such a specialty shop, the boutique that Leia Roberts and I run downtown could make use of your skills. We both know the quality that you produce, and we do not see one business failure as a reflection on your abilities. Even though we cannot offer you the same experience as running your own business, we are willing to make space in our store for your workshop if you would be willing to share the rent with us. We can discuss any possible cut of the profits at a later date, but I assure you that the majority will be yours.

Please let me know what you think. I think this could be a really good opportunity for both of us. Feel free to call me at any time, either at the store (468-1589), or at home (435-9963). I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Eva Enrique
