The Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Lexington recently started a financial literacy program called Lasting Change which is specifically geared toward unbanked, low-income individuals who rely upon community organizations to supplement their basic needs. As part of their sessions, they offer a dinner and they thought it would be a great opportunity to do some nutrition education, along with some cooking experience.
Enter Seedleaf.
It was a wild night and a frenzy of activity, but when the smoke cleared and the soap bubbles settled, a fabulous meal had been prepared by the joint efforts of 23 adults.
The Menu? Vegetarian chili, cornbread, salad, and banana pudding.
All in all, this was a wonderful opportunity for us at Seedleaf to help spread the joys of healthy meal preparation, and hopefully enlighten a few more about the ease and savings that can be had through meal preparation.
We crammed a lot of information in our limited 1 hour allotment, included balanced meal planning, economical shopping tips, the importance of local and organic, and the convenience of batch cooking.
Want to see some of the excitement for yourself? Check out the video clips to see the splendor.
And stay tuned for more cooking opportunities as Seedleaf looks to expand our offering of food preparation and preservation with a focus on fresh, local ingredients!
