Middle School Student Cooks for Family
“Middle school students who attended a SNAP-Ed Teen Cuisine class in Hawkins County in east Tennessee enjoyed the lesson on making fresh salsa, where they discussed proper measuring techniques, the use of fresh herbs, food safety, and the pros and cons of fresh versus canned vegetables. Shortly after the class ended, the parent of a class participant called the county Extension office to find out more about the lesson because her daughter loved the recipe and insisted on making it for her family. The SNAP-Ed educator sent a copy of the recipe to the mother and provided additional content information. “She made us the salsa…this is amazing,” the mother wrote later. “Thank you.”“
