Cooking Connections

Cooking Connections was our 2024-2025 District Grant project. We partnered with HyVee’s dietician Victoria Chouklina and the Job Point YouthBuild Program to teach cooking skills and build community connections. Watch for reunion meals on the home page calendar and blog!

We had a great time cooking.

Students also practiced networking skills, earned “kitchen bags” containing a crockpot and kitchen utensils, and shopped for groceries.

You can find some our recipes for meals that are affordable, nutritious, and delicious here:

=> Easy Korean Ground Beef

=> Easy Creamy Ground Beef Pasta

=> Salsa Chicken Four Ways

Eighteen students qualified for and received their food handler cards! Congrats to all! We wish you much success.
