For a while now we have been discussing with our team the goal of introducing nutrition classes to our community center location with these goals in mind:
That the classes would be:
nutritious
cost effective, that they can make the recipe at home on a tight budget
it can easily be modified to add protein when available
educates
and that they have fun while doing it
And today we believe we did just that.
Thanks to our friends at B.E.S.T Academy, they sponsored the entire day. From early morning shopping in the market, meal planning, to having their nutritionist and staff come along, they prepped, purchased and taught the class to our first group of mamas.
Today, they made a vegetarian “tinga” with shredded onions and carrots, sautéed with spices and a tomato sauce put over a tostada with avocado. Even 6 months ago I don’t think many would have even tried the recipe, but today we sat around the island as each enjoyed what they had created.

Miss Rosa and Ms. Kat then took time answering questions and dialoging about other recipes they would like to learn how to modify, and we set another date on the calendar for the next class.
We are so thankful for B.E.S.T Academy and all they have done and continue to do to pour into our communities through education and heart.
Thanks, B.E.S.T Academy!
