On Monday, May 23rd, we volunteered to present at a 4-H meeting in Faulkner County. The members of this group were preparing a vegetable garden to watch, nurture, and grow in the coming months. Our job was to give them a few ideas about what they can do when their vegetables are ready to eat! We prepared and cooked 4 healthy vegetable dishes and compared them to unhealthy dishes the members may have been more familiar with. They tasted each dish and each member said they enjoyed the food! Here in the south, we tend to eat a lot of fried and buttery food. With the recipes we prepared and taught them about, they will have healthier options when it comes to making dishes out of vegetables from their own garden. – Holly Rega, Nutrition Major
