Do you enjoy cooking, or being in the kitchen? Stokes County 4-H will be hosting “Nutrition in the Kitchen” on May 26 at 3 p.m. virtually, using Zoom, for any youth ages 8-18 (younger youth may need assistance in the kitchen during the class if they wish to make the recipes along with the instructor).Come learn important things about the kitchen, while learning how to make healthy and yummy snacks! Youth will learn how to properly use utensils, kitchen safety, and the importance of eating healthy snacks. Youth will also learn a little more about 4-H, if they are new to the program. Some healthy snacks we are making are smoothies, yogurt parfaits, and a few raw vegetables with fruit.
As you register for this event, you will receive a list of ingredients to purchase prior to the class (if you wish to participate along), as well as the link to the Zoom meeting, which you will use the night of the class. You can still attend the class without purchasing ingredients. We wanted to give the option to those who would want to make the recipes during the class.
If you are new to 4-H, please be sure to enroll by using 4-H Online.
