Boulder Journey Cooking Demo

A cooking lesson at the preschool

On Thursday, the teachers at the Boulder Journey Preschool helped out with a hands on cooking demo in the classroom. Teachers helped to keep the two groups of 13 and 12 five-year olds on task, some at the cutting table and some at the folding table. The students put together Apple Cheese Quesadillas and then sampled them--and all agreed they were delicious--and easy to make! It's fun to cook for yourself and your family.
