Hey Teachers! “Lettuce” Get Cooking this March!
It’s that time of the year again, folks! Small Bites Adventure Club is providing educators with free resources to prepare and taste fruits and vegetables with students in their classrooms to celebrate National Nutrition Month this March. This year, we are featuring a versatile, fun, and simple recipe: 1-2-3 Vinaigrette with Lettuce 🥬!
“Kids can absolutely learn to love vegetables – especially when they are given the opportunity to create and try them through hands-on cooking with their peers in classroom settings,” shares Erin Croom, CEO and founder of Small Bites Adventure Club. Small Bites Adventure Club is on a mission to help children discover, eat and love fruits and vegetables with turnkey food education resources for childcare, after-school programs, and PreK-5th-grade educators.
