Our latest and greatest graduates

 

This past month, we have had the privilege of working with a wonderful group of kids from McMaster. Their enthusiasm in the kitchen and their new found cooking skills, blew us away. We are so proud to call them graduates of HealthyFam.

 

We took a poll with the kids to see what their favorite recipe from the session was. It was a unanimous vote- the kids loved the salsa and guacamole recipes. We have attached the recipes for them below. Make a grocery list this weekend and shop for the fresh ingredients in the salsa and guac. Enjoy your family fiesta!

 

Happy Weekend,
