The Food and Nutrition class is discussing the importance of sharing a meal at least once a week with the people that live in their homes. This is part of building a family tradition and a tradition that can be passed on to the next generation.
This week we had the pleasure of having Aaliyah Brown’s mother visit and share with us how her family uses ingredients in the house to create new meals. The meal consisted of sausage with multi-colored peppers, onions, and zucchini. The Brown family also makes the meal with a variety of ingredients, adding potatoes, rice, or sometimes adding egg and making the dish for breakfast.
They also try new spices and herbs to make the flavor different. Students learned how to flavor food without adding extra salt and learned the importance of having a healthy meal and using what is in the home to create a meal or side dish.
We continue to partner with families of the students in the class, “It takes a Village!” Seeing the pride and excitement to have a family member come in to share family recipes, brings joy to the entire class!
