Guest guest Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 This is fantastic! Hugs and Kisses to you and AJ for using our recipes and teaching these teens how to cook vegetarian food and most of all for loving and caring enough to take all of them under your wings! Now I will print the recipes you tried from the files and make them too. Yay! I see my pineapple bread got in there. I have already made those decadent brownies, they are awesome! I forgot about my baked potato salad. I need to make that again! I have had a tater craving this past week.

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.
