What a fabulous program held by Rutgers Cooperative Extension Middlesex County EFNEP at Raritan Valley YMCA for the 5th grade youth! Mabelle, one of our educator's, engaged the youth with various lessons and physical activities, as well as recipe preparation. Mabelle gave the youth a chance to make the recipe with her that includes easy and few ingredient recipes that they can make at home.
