Foods Class Salsa Lab

The students in Foods & Nutrition I prepared fresh salsa for their first lab on Friday, the 13th.

Every group's salsa tasted a little different...some definitely hotter than others!!!

They also got a lesson in paying close attention to the food processors and blenders....don't let your salsa blend for too long or you might end up with a tomato smoothie! :)

More fun in Independent Living....this class really does work, they don't just goof around!! They have been working on resumes, cover letters, and other ways to prepare for getting themselves in to the real world of their desired career.

New School Year.....
