The DSANV Cooking Club is focused on maximizing choice, ensuring hands-on engagement, using adaptations (as needed to ensure safety) and promoting families cooking together.
Offerings alternate between a series of cooking club classes and cooking challenges.
For each Smoothie/Sandwich Clinic there will be at least two choices of fruit smoothies, and two choices of sandwiches. For the sandwich choices we’ll offer a meat option such as deli turkey, grilled chicken, or Philly Cheese Steak. We’ll also offer non-meat options such as grilled cheese, banana, strawberry and peanut butter sandwiches. Each month: June, July and August will have different choices.
You can drop off anytime between 10:00 am – 12:00 pm. Parents can relax and chat. YMSL volunteers assist with making the smoothies and sandwiches.Smoothie/Sandwich Clinics are great way to eat a healthy lunch and catch up with friends. Clinic dates will be June 10, July 22 and August 5.
