Welcome Spring

We got Rita's ice on the first day of spring for free. We pick up our little Princess from school and headed to Rita's ice. They were giving away free ice. My husband got Mango, Passion fruit for me and my little Princess got sweadish fish. She could not wait until she got home to eat it. I was able to take 2 photos of our ice my husband and mine. They were delicious and I was happy that they were free.

On Thursday we had a spring party for the after school children. The children were split into 4 groups. They did not do homework for the day. One group was with me doing craft. They planted basil inside a crack egg shell. They all love this activity and got to take it home for the basil to continue to grow. Another group was doing cupcake decorations. The other group did pretzel dip in chocolate and the last one Bingo. They won prizes in Bingo. Also we had guess how many jelly beans are in the container. One 1st grader won. They all got to participate in all the activities. We work with children from 1st to 5th grade. It is a wonderful program that has been running for 18 years. The Peeps company donated peeps for them to take home. I made 36 Easter goody bags for them. I made tags and cut each of them. It had 100% juice, cheese crackers and 100 calories brownies. One of the girls in 3rd grade said, "It looks like you did a lot of work". I said, " it took me 2 days, but I was happy doing it because it was for all of you". I had my daughter who is in the program too give the goody bags to each of them. They said, "Thank You"! and she said," you are welcome"!. It is a great feeling to give and make children happy.

YMCA Nutritional Class

I started a nutritional class at the YMCA from 10:30a.m to 12:00p.m. There are 15 woman student in the class. We learn about the nutritional part of the food we like. Choosing fruits and vegetables, and whole grains. Whole grains: brown rice, graham flour, whole wheat, buckwheat, bulgur, millet, whole grain corn, popcorn, whole grain barley, quinoa, wild rice, whole rye, whole grain flour, whole grain cornmeal, oatmeal or whole oats. Brown bread. Bread can be brown because of molasses or other added ingredients. It does not mean whole grain. A fancy name. Breads labeled "multigrain", "100% wheat,""cracked wheat," "seven grain," "seven grain,"" stone- ground," or "brand" are often not whole grains. You have to check the ingredient list. Whole grains after the first ingredient. This could be only a very small part of the food. It is not a whole grain. We also made Vegetable Lasagna, Tabbouleh (refreshing salad), Sweet potato fries, Baked flaked chicken, peanut butter and banana pockets and fruit smoothies. Everything was delicious. I made the vegetable lasagna at home.
