How much sugar?
The girls measure out actual sugar to get a better understanding of how much sugar is actually in a serving of some of their favorite drinks.
“Wow! That’s a lot of sugar!” – Natalya
Healthy Cooking
Layla learns the correct way to cut vegetables (lots of them!) with a sharp knife and Natalya stirs the cheese sauce for the healthy enchiladas.
“Making cheese sauce us fun but all of the stirring is hard work!” – Natalya
Cooking Matters for Kids
The VNA, in partnership with ConAgra Foods, has been offering cooking classes for Girls Inc. members through the Cooking Matters for Kids program. The mission of Cooking Matters is to “empower families with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to prepare healthy and affordable meals.”
In this photo, the girls are learning to use ground turkey – healthier alternative to ground beef – to make enchiladas.
