Today I’m looking forward to being a part of a great online cooking class… and hope you can join me!

What: A virtual cooking school class called Delicious Summer Picnic Recipes. The class is part of the Cooking Connections series on The Motherhood. You can check out great easy picnic recipes ahead of time on the recipe website ReadySetEat here.

When: Thursday, May 17, at 1 p.m. ET = TODAY!  It will last 30 minutes.

Where: The Motherhood – here is the link to the page where the class will be held.

About the class: Who doesn’t love a summer picnic over Memorial Day, July 4th, and beyond? Chef George Duran will appear on live feed video to demonstrate how to cook up great picnic dishes and discuss easy-to-prepare recipes that will keep your menu filled with new tastes and flavors, and keep your picnics far from reaching a state of “same old, same old” by summer’s end.

Giveaway: We are also giving away a summer picnic gift basket for class participation – don’t miss out! Here’s how to enter: Attend the live chat and answer the question, “Which picnic recipe from ReadySetEat are you most excited to try?” You can check out the recipes on ReadySetEat here.

The class is sponsored by ReadySetEat.com and ConAgra Foods, and it is hosted by The Motherhood. I’ll be there with nine other bloggers to co-host the class, and I hope you’ll join us:

Amanda, Parenting by Dummies
Angie, My Four Monkeys
Devaki, Weave a Thousand Flavors
Jodi, Mom’s Favorite Stuff
Kim, At Home with Kim
Kristy, Mommy Hates Cooking
Piera, Jolly Mom
