Where to Begin???

It seems like I haven't posted an update in forever and there's so much garden-related news to share.  MFN has hosted two nutrition classes at MadCAAP in the past two weeks.  The first week about 15 clients enjoyed a cooking demonstration featuring vegetable burritos and chocolate chip zucchini muffins.  Both recipes incorporated vegetables grown in our garden and showed ways to prepare nutritious meals for a family.    Everyone enjoyed getting to taste the foods and received recipes to use at home.  The second week's class shared information about canning and safe practices in that process.  Our clients asked to have more classes on similar topics.  Thanks, Cassandra and Millicent for get this organized for us.

Yum! Yum!  These two ladies give a "thumbs up" to vegetable burritos.
