Practical Application

Our Life Prep topics naturally expand into practical application. A pivotal experience each session is the healthy meal preparation session. The students are divided into small groups and given the task of coming up with a menu, to go grocery shopping together, and to prepare and serve the meal to the entire group. The criteria include no fast food, no pre-cooked items, and to prepare the main course, a side dish, and a dessert. The students are astounded at what they can accomplish. This experience provides an excellent lesson in discovering the financial savings of preparing healthy meals over eating out and coming in under budget.
