This past Friday was our first SMART Youth cooking class!
Along with our facilitator Lena, a certified dietician and chef, we whipped up healthy
and easy-to-make breakfast recipes that we can cook quickly in the morning. We
made delicious homemade granola that went into a yogurt parfait, as
well as assembled hearty and protein-rich breakfast burritos that everyone
loved. In addition, our youth learned proper food safety skills, how to safely
and effectively handle knives, and cooking basics, such as chopping, sautéing,
and seasoning. We even found out that several of our youth already know their
way around the kitchen! We had a blast, learned tons of important
nutritional info, and practiced some necessary kitchen basics so that our youth
feel more comfortable in the kitchen.
This Friday, we’ll be in the kitchen again preparing some
amazing recipes created by one of our favorite facilitators, including a bean
salad, vegetable paninis, and turkey chili! We’re looking forward to it!
