“Through our cooking camps and Kids in the Kitchen class, I was inspired to eat well and make healthy food for my own family,” says Grace. “We joined Grow Ohio Valley, a group that turns vacant city lots into gardens. Each week my mom and I would pick out our vegetables. It was great to know we were eating really fresh vegetables and helping our community. As a child I always liked when my mom made couscous and this past summer I found out how easy it was to prepare. Now I have a meal that even my picky 7 year-­old sister will eat. The dish can be made in less than 20 minutes and is great packed up for lunch the next day."
