Healthy Tailgating: Winning Recipes for the Home Team is presented by the Healthy Living Kitchen and Kroger.

“We want Vol fans to know they can have great parties for the big game and still have healthier options,” said Jane Kelly, a registered nurse with UT Medical Center’s Heart Lung Vascular Institute and one of the instructors for the Healthy Living Kitchen cooking classes. “The typical tailgate party is loaded with unhealthy food choices. But we can help show people how to make quick and easy tailgate party treats that are better for them.”
