Whoever said that kids don't eat well anymore?

"It sounds like a recipe for chaos: 20 fifth-graders in a school cafeteria kitchen on a muggy Saturday afternoon, preparing an ambitious seasonal menu for a guest list of 120. But at the Bridge School here late last month, everything was running like clockwork. The children were lined up, wearing aprons, ready to cook dinner for a crowd of parents, grandparents, siblings, and school and community leaders."

I've been working with my students, after watching the movie Ratatouille, on choosing healthier foods. I tried to get them to bring in some healthy foods (and they did) but only two students brought in food. One brought a vegetable tray (purchased) and the other brought a fruit tray (also purchased).
But at least they made healthy choices, right?
This sounds like a great program. Thanks for sharing.

What a great idea. I wish that they did this when I was in school. Maybe then I would know how to cook more advanced meals than plain pasta...

It is beautiful! Children are likely to be less selective and eat healthier foods if they are involved in making the meal. Planning the meal together teaches them how to make foods (they won't live at home forever!) and gives parents the prep and sit-down meal time to chat and develop great relationships with their children. Real tasks with increasing skill appropriate for their ages are important, not just setting the table.
More Plant-based: whole grains, vegetables, fruits;
Less Animal-based: dairy, meats/fish; also less refined starches including sugars make healthy people. - 4 years ago

This is a great place to find easy recipes. Tons of stuff on here from grab and go tacos to a "purple cow".
