In the News!

As I'm sure you've all seen, our class was featured on DNAinfo.com.  They came in and visited during a Cook Shop lesson that focused on grains.  Check out the article and 11 pictures by clicking here.

We had a great time making a healthy snack and sharing it with new people in our classroom.

Our recipe was:

7 plum tomatoes, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1/4 cup of olive oil
12 dashes of salt
12 dashes of black pepper


Mix all above ingredients together and then put it on top of your favorite whole-grain food.  
We used whole-wheat bread and whole-wheat pitas in class, but crackers, rice cakes, and rolls would work too.

We learned a lot about grains during this unit and will continue our discussion about grains next week.  After grains, we begin our study of protein!
