Posted Tasting, Trying, Learning, Growing at Briscoe to Dish with Gracie
School: Briscoe Elementary, 4th Grade I get to go to Chef Anne's class on Monday mornings to cook sometimes with Chef Garth and learn about things we grow in the garden. Our garden didn't grow some of what we planted, but we grew a great big broccoli. We ate it last week in our class when we made Stir Fried Tofu and vegetables. That was my first time I think to eat tofu, and I liked it! We also had snap peas and swiss chard from our garden in the recipe.

Next month we will make chocolate beet muffins with beets we have grown, I have never eaten beets before in my life-but I think I will like them....

Posted Yummy Fruit Smoothies and Bull's Blood Beets to Dish with Gracie
By: Emely MacGregor Elementary SchoolI had a good day in the Recipe class. I had a lot of fun cooking with our chef and my group. We prepared smoothies. It tastes like mixed fruit. We learned how to make a special smoothie. We smelled the things that were on the table, we mixed the things in the mixer and then we tasted the smoothie. At home, I made one with different ingredients. I used 4 things: banana, strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. It turned into mixed fruit and it turned into smoothie and it tasted really delicious. I shared it with my family and they said that it was so delicious. In the gardening class, we learned the rules and tools to plant. We planted Bull's Blood Beets, Flash Trout-back Lettuce, Arugula, Amazing White Cauliflower and we planted more stuff. We smelled the plants we...
