At Carino's, we have always been very passionate about our food and taking care of our guests. Behind the scenes, we have always been very passionate about being involved in the community, supporting children's causes and helping out whenever we can. I was recently given an opportunity to teach nutrition to some great kids at a local elementary school. They had already been studying nutrition all week so the children were well versed in understanding the basic food groups and what they are for. We kicked off the class learning about the healthy ingredients we had at our disposal - fresh lettuce, tomatoes, pasta, tomato sauce, chicken, and olive oil (in moderation of course). Some brave volunteers cut fresh salad and tomatoes, we discussed how to make a healthy salad dressing and then talked about how wheat turns into pasta. Then it was time to eat! The healthy meal of tomato salad, penne with tomato sauce and grilled chicken was a hit and we even had some kids asking for seconds! Who would have thought nutrition could be so fun and taste so good? Thank you to Ms. Temple and her teachers for allowing me to spend some time working with these great kids!
