It's a good topic, but you've got me scratching my head as to how to teach it.

What I would do...hmm...

I would assemble recipes that were not too complicated and place focus on whole foods, keeping refined foods out of the program. I would try as much as I could to stay away from wheat.

I would start with making soup. It's easy and requires no special skills. Then on to; cooking eggs - for breakfast, lunch, or dinner; whole meal salads; whole grain cooking; fruit desserts

I would do things that kids like, for example: cream of tomato soup with microwaved or oven baked cheese crisps; fried rice made with brown rice; roll-ups - ham and cheese slices rolled around lettuce; potato skins stuffed with chili; pizza on a thin, whole wheat tortilla.

Is this what you kind of had in mind? It would depend on your budget too, so how is your budget?
