I will be teaching four classes at Food and Friends this month. Tonight was the first of four. I have to begin by saying that Sapna and Janell are the Community Dietitians for Food and Friends; and they are wonderful. The work they do for the clients is outstanding. They both project such a positive attitude that it keeps me coming back again and again. I have to also mention my main man Gary who keeps the class rolling with his knowledge of the kitchen layout and his ESP. Sometimes I just start thinking of stuff and here comes Gary with the exact piece of equipment I was pondering. Gary has been volunteering several times a week for a long time now and it is because of the selflessness of people like Gary and the dedication of folks like Sapna and Janell that Food and Friends is able to provide wholesome meals for the clients. I implore you all to consider getting involved in this phenomenal organization. If you are not local please click on the website and donate. If you are local help out… they accept corporate sponsors and can host a "Day of Caring " for your organization or company. I have met some great folks working here this past year and I fully support their campaign. Again please reach deep into your hearts, count your blessings and help if you are able.
Tonight we did a simple marinara sauce and served it with some whole grain pasta and balsamic roasted veggies. There was more than enough garlic to go around. We put away some of the sauce for Thursday's class and will do variations on healthy pizza. My goal is to bring a batch of the whole wheat pizza dough from an earlier blog. Let's face it pizza is good.
Just a short spew tonight no recipes just a shout out to my buds to help out. Join the club….. I love you all.
