Food Fun at the Library

12/4/2012

   Warren County Memorial Library staff have teamed up with FoodCorps throughout this year to provide fun and healthy programming to library patrons. When apples first came into season this fall, Children Services Coordinator Mary Bullock and FoodCorps focused on this seasonal fruit for Reading is So Delicious! Ms. Bulllock read a fun book to the crowd all about apples, followed by Caroline teaching youth how to make their own apple dip. Yogurt, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins, and peanut butter were all available to the kids for making a snack to fit their tastes.
   With the last of the school garden harvest in October, library staff and FoodCorps teamed up again to make a batch of home-made tortilla chips and salsa! Participants were excited about how fresh and delicious their own salsa could be using just-picked tomatoes, peppers, onions, and jalapenos. 
   For sweet potato season, FoodCorps introduced home-made sweet potato chips to participants, while library staffer and amazing chef Beth Perkinson showed us how to make delicious and healthy greens in less than five minutes. What pairs better than greens, sweet potatoes, and a good book?
   A special thanks as well to Emily Shaw for coordinating events and Cheryl Reddish for her continued support. Partnering with the library thus far has been very fun and rewarding, and FoodCorps is excited to show more participants how delicious reading is next year!
