Gracie Cavnar: September 2009 Archives
Our chefs and gardeners scrubbed and mulched and freshened their bulletin boards throughout August. We presented cooking classes and garden tours during teacher in-service days and prepared to greet our latest group of 3050 students.
The children were delighted when they returned to their Recipe Gardens to dig huge sweet potatoes, with which they soon will be making muffins. They met their chefs, got their new aprons, which of course had to be decorated and personalized, and learned the rules of the kitchen. Then they skewered a colorful fruit kabob and mixed up fresh blueberry yogurt dipping sauce.
For many of our volunteer Chefs, this is the fourth year in the classroom. Monica Pope and Randy Evans at MacGregor, John Sheely at Rodriguez and Peter Garcia at Gross have been lending their expertise in the classroom every month since 2006. This year twenty other of Houston's finest chefs are joining them.
Recipe for Success Welcomes volunteers and encourages you to come see for yourself how our tactics of making healthy eating fun are changing the way children eat for life.
