We completed our first Unified Foods cooking lab, and it was a big hit! Students made their own trail mix while practicing essential kitchen skills like reading a recipe, selecting the correct measuring tools, and measuring dry ingredients. Between the learning, teamwork, and tasty results, most students left with empty bags because the trail mix was just that good! 👩‍🍳🍫🥨🍒🥜
