When we arrived in my son's 4th grade class, the first question a student enthusiastically asked was, "Is it Veggie Time?!" What? -- Anticipation and excitement for veggie eating! We have become the "Veggie Ladies" bearing a rainbow of gifts both nutritious and fresh. We used the weekly chart from Wegmans, "Eat a Rainbow Every Day" to identify and name vegetables and fruits in all the color groups. We chatted some about our healthy tasting, and since it is February, we shared a bit about China and the Chinese or Lunar New Year. The students enjoyed the Chinese Lettuce wraps and took home a recipe to share with their families. The Boston Bibb Salad wraps were filled with red, orange and yellow bell peppers, red cabbage, shredded carrots and organic chicken tenders that had been marinated in Organic Hidden Valley Ranch and cooked. Yum! Just ask the 4th graders!
