Today’s weather invited “Spring Vegetable Soup.” It was the perfect combination between learning about veggies that grow in different seasons & a hardy bowl of soup on a chilly spring day. Now…let’s get to the part of spring where we are warmed by the sun!

Chop, Cook, Fill, Fold, Bake & Eat! We had a busy class making Dainty Dumplings today! We chose to fill them with brown rice & quinoa, carrots, celery, onions and spinach. We learned a few ways to fold, some tried “the purse,” others went for the “4 pointed star,” and some played it safe with the triangle fold. To say they loved them is an understatement. They asked to make them again next week! If you have the Cooking’s Cool cookbook-the recipe is in there!

Sorry moms & dads…today we were caught playing with our food! Look at how creative we got! Peppers made the perfect scarf, hair, arms & legs…even a hair band and glasses! Olives were great for buttons, eyes, ears & mouth. They tasted just as good as they looked!

Rainbow Pizza with No-Mato Sauce
Kids had a blast dicing veggies of every color and recalling our lessons from previous weeks. (Naming examples of foods for every color and why that color is important for our body).
We read some fun Pizza Day books & played a round of our favorite game Headbands (food edition).
Today wrapped up our fall session, but we’ll be back in January! Such a great class of kids!

To celebrate Thanksgiving, we made Simple Gravy and mixed in a rainbow of veggies to make mini pot pies. It was a great way to get in a variety of veggies (carrots, corn, peas, green beans & lima beans) & would be a perfect way to reuse those Thanksgiving leftovers!

Today we made banana bread muffins and dressed them as turkeys.
We also started writing about the different colors of food and how they each help your body using a Turkey and feathers for info about each color. 🦃
