We constructed large &#8220;L&#8221; shaped counters for us to prepare food on. As a group, we made homemade versions of dressings we already know and love, and we talked about the versatility of spices and seasonings. We wrote out our Community Contract together, discussing personal boundaries, highlighting how to care for one another, and agreeing to all partake in &#8220;no thank you&#8221; bites when making unfamiliar foods.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"131\"  src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/foodag-portfolio-fall22-fidanzato\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1026\/2022\/10\/45C1A4E3-C62D-408D-A58E-9406760E8C42_1_105_c.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-131\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"130\"  src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/foodag-portfolio-fall22-fidanzato\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1026\/2022\/10\/A23446D2-DE4C-43E9-B283-B137ACC126AE_1_105_c-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-130\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\"><br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color has-small-font-size\" style=\"color:#c1821e\"><em>The kids had a blast making dressing this week. They were engaged when it came to discussing what goes into making some of their favorites, which provides inspiration for adventurous eating. Many were unfamiliar with dill &#8211; this led to great conversations about all the ways we can use dill in our cooking, including plans to make pickles in a few weeks. We added toasted nuts, apple, and sunflower seeds to our salad. &#8220;Sneaking&#8221; fruits into my meals is one of my favorite things to do and this led to a fun conversation on how we can do that at home. Salads are often deemed as boring or unexciting. Collectively we talked about why that is, the importance of fresh veggies, and how we can make them full and balanced meals ourselves. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Curriculum: Different oils (hydrogenated oils like veggie or canola are higher in trans fats which aren\u2019t the good kinds of fats, can lead to health problems over time) Like sugar and salt, fats have a way of sneaking into our prepared foods \u2013 always read ingredient lists Low temp: olive oil, butter High temp: avocado, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/foodag-portfolio-fall22-fidanzato\/week-2-introduction-to-cooking-draft\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Week 2: Introduction to Cooking<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":880,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"geo":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/foodag-portfolio-fall22-fidanzato\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/foodag-portfolio-fall22-fidanzato\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/foodag-portfolio-fall22-fidanzato\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/foodag-portfolio-fall22-fidanzato\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/880"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/foodag-portfolio-fall22-fidanzato\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/foodag-portfolio-fall22-fidanzato\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":233,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/foodag-portfolio-fall22-fidanzato\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78\/revisions\/233"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/foodag-portfolio-fall22-fidanzato\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/foodag-portfolio-fall22-fidanzato\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/foodag-portfolio-fall22-fidanzato\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
