Jen, from the library, started by explaining that what they were going to make is a nutritious snack and that you can make some of it pre-made to make things a little simpler at home. Today they were going to make bean & cheese tortillas! Instead of buying already mashed up re-fried beans, the girls were going to making their own so they could see how easy it was and what spices they could add to add more flavor if they wanted. The girls also had to grate their own cheese too. They talked about how you can go into the store today and buy cheese that's already grated, but Jen explained to them that often the pre-shredded cheese is more expensive to buy. Plus it was just as easy for them to use a cheese shredder to work their own block of cheese. One of the girls in the troop isn't a fan of refried beans, but since she did all of the work herself, she said it wasn't as bad as she had originally thought! This cooking class is offered by the public library once a month for anyone to come attend. Please look up the schedule on the library's website. The troop is excited to see what next months dish is and hopes to see a lot of people attend!
