Are you a fan of vegetables? Want to learn about
nutrition and fun recipes you can do yourself? If you answered yes to either or
both questions then you are in luck!
ReNU Niagara
and the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Niagara County are proud to announce
on August 15 at 6pm there will be a workshop held at the Kalfas Magnet
School. During this workshop, staff will
discuss the benefits of eating fruits and vegetables. Children will partake in
activities that incorporate knowledge regarding the food groups, nutrition and understanding
healthy portion sizes. Families will also learn the importance of being
physically active and living an overall healthy life. Staff from the Cornell
Cooperative Extension of Niagara County will be hosting a cooking lesson on how
to make homemade salsa. The ingredients used for the salsa will be produce from
the Kalfas Community Garden. The goal is to create healthy recipes from
vegetables that can be grown in a typical garden. Families will be able to watch
how the salsa is made, taste a sample and be able to have a copy of the recipe to
take home for future use.
Before, during and after the workshop families will be
encouraged to help participate in the watering, weeding and any general
maintenance duties of the garden!!!! Looking forward to seeing everyone out
there!!
If you have any questions please feel free to contact the ReNU office
at 205-0287 and ask for John.
