Young Parents Participants Receive Training and Equipment
The Young Parents Program held a Cooking Class on November 17, 2009. First Christian Church of Rolla hosted the event and provided a Chili Supper for the group. Afterward, Dr. Mary Graham demonstrated how to use alcohol-based sanitizers correctly and led in a "hands-on" experience. Then, volunteers provided training on healthy snack preparation, food safety, how to brown and store ground beef, how to prepare and cook dry beans, how to slice and chop vegetables, and how to cook pasta and steam vegetables.
The YP Coordinator presented program participants with $10 Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Vouchers from Fit Phelps. Each participant then received a kitchen equipment kit which included: pots and pans; cookie sheets; a cake pan; kitchen tools; a measuring cup; a potholder; and a user-friendly cook book. Funds for the kit came from the YP program, Fit Phelps and an anonymous donor.
