Grateful to U.S. Department of Agriculture , and Penn State for making this experience possible through PA Harvest of the Month funding. Thank you to Laree and her team at Young Chefs º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ as well, for sharing your time and kitchen with us! Fun was had by all.
Spinning pizza aside, L. had a great time making and an even better time eating her pizza, which was filled with pepperoni, peppers, and mushrooms. Unraveling a saved slice that she brought back to campus, you could see the pride she had in her creation and more importantly, in herself.
