What a whirlwind day.  Off to the store early this morning and a stop by one of the farms to check in on the Jersey cows and make sure everything is lined up for our future cheese making classes.  Networked with another “homesteader” on what type of classes could be offered this summer and we have decided to put together 3 additional canning classes and a pasta class.  Pasta will be new for the Parks & Rec so hopefully, we will have a good response.  I also want to put together a “Mother/Daughter”  “Aunt/Niece”   cooking class.  Should be fun and educational. On weekends I cook with my 2 nieces’ all the time. It’s our quality time indoors instead of watching TV or being on the computer. The girls are always on the go with Baton or Soccer so they eat out too often. Not even realizing how the food is prepare.This generation knows how to pick up a phone and order a Pizza but I doubt they would know how to make one. 

How often do you eat out?  Do you check on the rating the company has gotten before visiting their establishment? A nice dinner out every so often is definitely a plus when you do not have to clean up dishes or leftovers.  But eating out more often exposes you to fat laden foods which are not healthy and can be expensively. 

Please share your favorite meal that you would like to make with your daughter or niece.  It may be something that can be incorporated into extension classes over the summer.  Here’s to eating Healthy!

Weekends are for Family and I choose to teach my Niece’s how to cook so that they will have the basics when they are older.
