I LOVE to cook and grow a vegetable garden in the summer along with hundreds of varieties of flowers and herbs. I am an avid horsewoman and lover of cats. I began my working adult life as a children's clothing and hosiery designer before I got the calling to teach. Because I hold an Art degree I began as an art teacher, and worked toward my goal to be a FACS teacher. I am looking forward to another fun and action packed school year!!!!
Food & Nutrition 1
In this class we cover basic nutrition, cooking utensils, shopping for & storing food, basic cooking techniques, manners & etiquette, and food safety with the goal of preventing a foodborne illness at home via the NC Safe Plate program.
Food & Nutrition 2
In this class students will be given the opportunity to take the nationally recognized Servsafe 7 Food Manager credential exam after successfully preparing for it. We also consider entrepreneurial possibilities in the food world, which is vast. Students will study nutrition in a more in depth manner considering sports applications and general wellness. We also look at the farm-to-table movement.
