Kids & Parents Cooking in the Merc Kitchen
Saturday · November 8 · 10AM - Noon
taught by Amber Belt, ND & Ashley Roberts
Join Amber and Ashley for a parent-child cooking adventure! We will start by making a Yogurt Parfait that you'll get to snack on right away. Next on the menu will be making Blueberry-Banana-Peanut Butter Balls, which the kids will take home in a box they decorate. Next on the menu are Easy and Delicious Wraps, which the parents and kids make themselves! You'll get to eat your wraps for lunch with a side of Sweet Potato Fries and a simple Lemonade Spritzer. This is a hands-on class for kids ages 5 to 11, so each child must be accompanied by one adult. Please bring an apron to class.
Limit 8 adult/child pairs.
