In addition to making their own healthy trail mix, trying veggies with dip and creating beautiful yogurt parfaits, kids were able to roll their own sushi with help from the chefs at Miya, taste-test delicious smoothies courtesy of Well on Wheels and enjoy vegan cookies from My City Kitchen.With generous donations from Subway and Primo Pizza, participants also enjoyed healthy sandwiches and a variety of whole veggie pizzas – the eggplant pizza was “blazin!” according to one young attendee! To augment the healthy and delicious foods, kids were able to try Zumba with Marissa Baglini Kaempffer, participate in relay races and had a mean hula-hoop contest.Much to the parents’ approval, kids were also able to get photo ID’s through the Amber Alert booth provided by the Rotary Club of Hamden.The event ended with a fun raffle, stuffed goody bags and cries from the kids for the Junior League to come back soon.To see what people are saying about the event and about the Junior League of Greater New Haven, visit http://wellonwheels.blogspot.com/2010/04/kids-in-kitchen.html.
