In Week 1 we learned how to put together a great-tasting lunch that has everything you need to fill your tummy, help you think smart, feel good and act nicely all afternoon at school. We tried two delicious kinds of turkey sandwiches, with seconds ...and thirds!
In Week 2 we learned how to make "Miracle" Tuna! Made with mayonnaise and a little Dijon mustard (so many good things come from France!), it's simple and tastes great with whole wheat crackers.

In Week 3, we made traditional French Dijon Vinaigrette! We learned about the kitchen chemistry behind emulsion, and how to make salad dressing that doesn't separate. Finally, we created our own salads at a French-inspired salad buffet, all to the tune of some great French music.
