Flank Steak with Pesto • Teriyaki Chicken with Pineapple
 Kale & Carrot Salad • Sweet & Spicy Coleslaw • Black Bean Confetti Salad

At last... I get to sit down with Baby Olivia!

Week 3: Learn to Shop, Cook, Eat: Outside of the Box w/Chrisetta Mosley



Tonight marked my third session with the group at Fruit Valley Elementary School. The first two weeks of the program we've been covering the basics -- how to plan and grocery SHOP. This session we started with a brief introduction on Beans & Whole Grains and then the fun part COOKing and EATing.

On the menu: 

Hummus served with crudités
Fruit Seed Wheat Berry Bowl
Brown Bag Popcorn with Honey Butter

The ladies enjoyed all the recipes. And music to my ears: They said they could and would make the recipes at home.  I love what I do!

Next week: Fresh Produce -- Fruits & Vegetables.

medical burden every year.
