We had two guest speakers this week. Carol Glock, M. Ed. is currently Education and Marketing Director for Health Hope Network (formally the Visiting Nurses Foundation). She oversees all of the Stroke Survivor Programs in the Pittsburgh area. She has written newsletter articles and given presentations on nutrition for stroke survivors. Carol is an adjunct professor at Washington and Jefferson College currently teaching Sports Nutrition and Attaining the Mental Edge.
Evan Verbanic was our second guest speaker. He is from Cherry Valley Organics which is a certified organic farm in Cherry Valley. The farm yields over 100 varieties of vegetables, over 150 varieties of herbs, and over 300 varieties of cut flowers.
Jason prepared three varieties of salsa, a hummus, and a breakfast quesadilla to start. Then he went into a confetti salad recipe with two recipes for different types of vinaigrette. Jason then went into a detailed explanation of stir fry procedures.
Throughout the night Evan and Carol would interject from their specific disciplines. Carol from a nutrition stand point and Evan from a farming outlook.
The night ended with a great simple dessert, Balsamic Strawberries. All in all another successful class!
