2007 and 2008 Vegetarian Cooking Class Final Dinner Menu

 

Hi  All

 

This past school year with the class was wonderful.

We had 33 teenages and 10 guest speakers and also gathered a few sponsores.  We

had donations from a few stores.

This has been the best year for parents being on board and working with us, we

even had grandparents involved as well.

 

We have found doing this class that people don't cook certain vegetables because

they don't know how. We are trying to change that. The teens that took this

class took the recipes home and showed their parents how to cook the vegetables.

 

Our class is to open the eyes of children and parents about eating healthy and

that fast food is not the best food and that cooking can be fun. Its away to

talk to your kids about serious subjects while having fun preparing food. It

takes the  pressure off the kids and parents it also brings the family closer if

everyone is helping out.

 

Here is a list of the recipes we used for the final dinner. Without you

wonderful people this class would not be possible.

Jack and AJ,

It is great that you are changing a generation or should I say 2 generations,

parents and children, in the way they eat, to make much better food choices.

What a blessing for these families to have the gift to learn preparation

techniques and taste these things. You've given these folks a gift of freedom

from junk food and opened up a whole new world. Bless you.

 

All these recipes sound wonderful. How fun it was to see all the reviews and

to see they liked my broccoli cheddar muffins. They are good aren't they.

 

Judy

Changing eating habits one group at a time. With a menu like that

how could they miss non-vegetarian food?

I went and found a few of the recipes to try within the next week.

I hope you are both presented with an award.

Wow, this is impressive. it is also really useful that you posted the

reviews! Thanks you so much for that! I am proud they liked my summer

squash soup (I was cabrita before my last email was stolen). I

will be making it again soon as my summer squash have many flowers

now, soon they will go crazy with new squash and this is a way to use

lots of it (and low fat).
