Try Something New: Food Demo with Kids
Today was a crazy day including a food demo for 100 elementary school kids. Talk about chaos. It was supposed to be a vegetable burrito suppling almost half of their veggie needs for the day. They built their burrito, and most of them ate it, but a few dumped out the filling and just ate the tortilla with a sprinkle of chili powder.
