We had the BEST time with the 3rd graders at Kashmere Gardens Elementary!⁠
⁠
The class had a blast making our “Better Than Ranch” dip and “Yellow Smoothie” recipe. It was the perfect mix of hands-on learning and tasty fun — every table got to measure, mix, and create their own recipe! 🥕🍋🥰⁠
⁠
⁠
The kiddos were so excited, and they even received take-home recipe cards to share with their families. Nothing beats seeing their smiles and curiosity in action!
