CC Consalvo Makes a Frittata with Ms. Wilkinson's 3rd Graders

CC Consalvo, a holistic chef and Palisades resident, participated in Marquez's Visiting Chef program on Thursday. CC is a personal holistic chef and wellness counselor who works with many celebrities and now Marquez 3rd graders in Ms. Wilkinson's class.  She emphasizes eating what's in season. Her website is www.wellrestored.com.

Yesterday the children made a vegetable frittata with CC's help.  The children cut broccoli, zucchini and yellow peppers.  They also stirred the eggs. Volunteer parents cut onions and potatoes. The children also added fresh parsley and thyme to the eggs during cooking.

CC explained what she was doing and why to the students as the ingredients were added to the electric skillet.

The steps:

1. Heat butter and oil
2. Add onions and potatoes
3. Add broccoli, peppers and zucchini
4. Add eggs and parmesan cheese
5. Add seasonings
6. Let set
7. Cut and enjoy

The ingredients

Each student cut some of the vegetables.

CC added the broccoli, zucchini and peppers to the skillet after first sauteing the onions and potatoes for a few minutes 

The delicious frittata

All of the children ate this from our reusable plates.
