Some added other veggies from their home gardens for a "stone soup". Most students really enjoyed it.]]> 2022-12-15 14:18:30 UTC https://padlet.com/teachinginnaturesclassroom/gsdleumj2hgpa0gq/wish/2421890191 From Cyndi R https://padlet.com/teachinginnaturesclassroom/gsdleumj2hgpa0gq/wish/2421910051 Our students actually most love when we pick spinach, kale or lettuce leaves and slice radishes and carrots and make "sandwiches". The greens are the "bread" and the sliced roots are the filling. We discuss sandwich stye choices- standard, open face, roll ups, and taco- and the kids love making what they want. We make a big deal out of manners- waiting until everyone is served , sharing the quantity, please and thank you, sharing a "bon appetite" before we eat, and table conversations as we eat! In 4 seasons, I have never had a student ask for any type of dressing! There is nothing wrong with dressing but Ive been silently impressed that no-one thinks of it!]]> 2022-12-15 14:32:35 UTC https://padlet.com/teachinginnaturesclassroom/gsdleumj2hgpa0gq/wish/2421910051 Carrots and Dip https://padlet.com/teachinginnaturesclassroom/gsdleumj2hgpa0gq/wish/2421957662 The children in our preschool love to harvest baby carrots and eat them plain or with ranch dressing or hummus as a dip.]]> 2022-12-15 15:06:46 UTC https://padlet.com/teachinginnaturesclassroom/gsdleumj2hgpa0gq/wish/2421957662 Root vegetables https://padlet.com/teachinginnaturesclassroom/gsdleumj2hgpa0gq/wish/2423245161 I love planting Hakurei turnips (aka salad turnips) with my students and also colorful radishes and carrots. The students love tasting them with ranch dressing and many students don't realize you can eat turnips raw and this type are sweet and delicious!]]> 2022-12-16 17:27:04 UTC https://padlet.com/teachinginnaturesclassroom/gsdleumj2hgpa0gq/wish/2423245161 Garden Harvest & Healthy Cooking Program (Shannon Goodwin) https://padlet.com/teachinginnaturesclassroom/gsdleumj2hgpa0gq/wish/2423665333 These are the recipes we use with our 5th grade program in the Fall. These students planted the large hunger garden last Spring. In the Fall, they come to our nature center to harvest the remaining vegetables, clean, chop, and cook a meal together. After harvesting, students are given a detailed knife lesson from a professional chef. Half the class prepares the veggies for the soup and tomato pesto. The other half, chops vegetables for a beautiful vegetable platter and makes the herb dip. While the soup is cooking, we lead the students through a formal food tasting and discuss careers in the food industry. Then we all enjoy the soup together for lunch.]]> 2022-12-17 14:47:31 UTC https://padlet.com/teachinginnaturesclassroom/gsdleumj2hgpa0gq/wish/2423665333 Dips made with yogurt and herbs from the garden and kids can dunk any of the garden's fresh vegetables in it. Easy and uses what's ripe without having to align harvests too much. I couldn't find the link so sharing something similar but dessert oriented. The site is useful if you live in FL. Another is we usually have veg for salsa gardens and Family Nutrition Program makes salsa for harvest parties. https://padlet.com/teachinginnaturesclassroom/gsdleumj2hgpa0gq/wish/2424789141 2022-12-19 13:25:40 UTC https://padlet.com/teachinginnaturesclassroom/gsdleumj2hgpa0gq/wish/2424789141 Salad zulmalizbeth https://padlet.com/teachinginnaturesclassroom/gsdleumj2hgpa0gq/wish/2425247093 Didn't have a chance to make something before, we just tried the strawberries, aragula, lettuce and tomatoes.
