Third day's a-Challenge!

Just barely over the hump. Aside from some typical homesickness the program seems to be starting off with quite a bang! Monday was my first full day with the campers. Local Chef Scott Barnett from Hay Day Market joined us for the afternoon and evening sessions to assist me in presenting a lesson on protein and fiber. After the lesson, it was into the frying pan to put the lesson into practice. The Chef brought up some wonderful whole grain salads and legumes, aka "healthy protein and fiber food choices", for the healthy-choice challenged campers to taste. The "try it and you might like it" philosophy started to work! The Chef pulled out his personal stash of kitchen wares including sharp knives, cooking utensils, herbs and spices. Chef Scott then started teaching them cooking skills, kitchen safety and culinary etiquette. A delicious time was had by all! Chef Scott was so impressed with the kids that he stayed to root them on during the fun and games at the beach later that evening. And of course whip up a special, healthy dessert just before bedtime.
