1-2 hours per week. Students will plan 7 menus each week for the meal covered in that week. They will turn in their menus and grocery lists.Class Experience
Beginner - Intermediate Level
I love cooking and I plan my meals each week. This class taught by Nita Stone will cover an essential life skill for moving out on your own.
We will discuss why and how to plan a menu and make a grocery list. We will learn to read a recipe before starting to cook that recipe.
We will cover breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We will discuss what types of foods we will prepare for each meal. The menus do not have to be assigned a day but the students will learn that they will have everything they need to prepare that menu. No cooking is required for the class but students may want to try new recipes with their parent's permission of course. Students may share ideas, recipes, and photos in the classroom area. Students may want to try a scavenger hunt at home to find different meal items. Students will plan a special event meal together.
We will discuss what type of foods we should eat each day as we prepare our menus. Not just main dishes but sides as well.

Hi! I hope you will enjoy my classes. I have a Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering Technology. I worked in the telecommunications field for 10 years.

I formally taught English as a Foreign Language to children in China from home. I love teaching.
I have a wide range of interests and hobbies. I love gardening, sewing, needlework, crafts, singing, reading, and cooking. I am currently an Arkansas Master Gardener. I have 2 grown daughters, 3 granddaughters, and 1 grandson.
I have been singing and performing since I was 5 years old. I studied voice at Collin County College and Texas Women's University. I have taken private voice lessons and taught vocal coaching for over 15 years.
I was a Sweet Adeline for 15 years. I sang with the 5 time International champion Rich Tone Chorus for 3 years and Texas Harmony for 10 years. I have also worked with 2 new choruses in the Dallas area. I also sang in a quartet called Rambunxious for 3 years.
I have been a sub teacher in the public schools for over 17 years. I sub 2 days a week currently. I have tutored all subjects and grades. I love reading and read a book each month. One of my favorite subjects is history. I love reading about history and the lessons we can learn. I love to learn about the different states and countries on our wonderful planet.
