As the kids head back to school, families are preparing for the hustle and bustle of fall to begin. I know I am, which is why I’ve started batch cooking and freezing dinners so that when the back to school rush begins, we have ready made dinners. Here’s another option to consider.

Williams-Sonoma is offering a free class on Sunday, August 19th to help you get a jump start on weeknight cooking. The class is designed to make short-order cooking creative, fun and easy.

Williams-Sonoma has partnered with Max and Eli Sussman, two up-and-coming young chefs who are taking an innovative approach to cooking. Their inventive but simple recipes will help you make the most of weeknight meal planning and will provide contemporary inspiration for casual dining.

Here are the basics to keep in mind when signing up for a free class at the store:

  • Hour-long technique classes are free and include tastings of prepared dishes.
  • Participants enjoy 10% savings on select same-day store purchases.
  • Available at all stores; class times vary by store location.
  • Class size is limited – call your local store to register.

There are a number of Williams-Sonoma locations in the Philly area, including:

  • Bridgewater
  • Princeton Marketfair

PENNSYLVANIA

  • Ardmore
  • King of Prussia

Still looking for something to do with your kids, ages 8 to 12, this summer? You can turn to the Apple Stores for free camps in July. That is, the Apple Store offers free movie-making camps over the summer.

In these free camps, your kids will shoot video, learning how to create a soundtrack using GarageBand on an iPad, and put it all together in iMovie on a Mac. Each class is 90 minutes long, and parents are likely required to stick around at the mall or near the store while camp is in session–no dumping your kids at the Apple Store for the entire day for free childcare!

Not surprisingly these camps fill up fast–as of this writing, one of 10 camp sessions at the King of Prussia Apple Store has already filled up.

Other Apple Stores in the area offering free movie making camps include:

  • Bridgewater
  • Cherry Hill
  • Lehigh Valley
  • Suburban Square
  • Walnut Street (Center City)

(Thanks, Charlotte on the Cheap, for a heads up on this free camp!)
