“i went to this class on a whim, i knew no one there and wasn’t sure if i was going to have a good time.  i ended up having a blast, everyone was so nice!  plus i was really surprised how much we got done in a couple of hours.  i learned so much about holiday meals, i have recipes for some delicious dishes, i’m very excited to try cooking them at home (as is my husband). i had a great experience with this class and would recommend it highly to anyone!” Kristin B.

WOW! Thank you to Room 402, for welcoming me with open arms and raised hands!!  You all were absolutely terrific and I enjoyed spending my morning with you!

For those of you who were not there, my friend Kelly Meyer, who heads up a fantastic organization called the “Teaching Garden” asked me to come to Will Roger’s Third Grade Class and do a cooking demonstration using foods the kids might find in their own gardens…especially the ones Kelly and many of her volunteers helped prepare this past weekend!  What an inspirational day and what a fantastic group of kids I met.  Together, Laird Hamilton, myself & some Will Rogers students help plant a meyer lemon tree!

Here is what we made in Room 402!

Salad Tacos – feeds 4-6 hungry kids

• 1 cucumber – peeled and diced small
• 5 basil leaves – chopped
• 1/2 bunch cilantro – chopped small
• 2 celery stalks – chopped small
• 1/2 red bell pepper – chopped small
• 1 large carrot – shredded on a cheese grater
