Chef’s Notes
· Add ground turkey or lean ground beef to make a meat sauce. Cook meat and drain fat.
· Make a double batch of sauce. Freeze extra for later use.
· Add diced zucchini, peppers, mushrooms, or other vegetables if you like.
· Try adding 1-2 Tablespoons of balsamic vinegar with the spices, for a different flavor.
· Serve over whole grain pasta. Or, use in place of canned tomato sauce in other recipes.
The Hillary Rodham Clinton Children’s Library & Learning Center includes a computer lab with fourteen computers, teaching kitchen, large activity area, individual and group study rooms, theater, and community room in addition to a collection of more than 21,000 books, DVDs, and CDs.
In the 165-seat theater, children can experience all aspects of theater, including designing and building sets, writing plays, acting, and costume design. The state-of-the-art sound system, lighting, and projection screens is also be used for movies, concerts, and lectures.
The Children’s Library’s grounds are integral to the entire facility’s program. A greenhouse and teaching garden helps children learn about growing healthy foods as well as provide produce that are used in the teaching kitchen programs. The grounds reflect the topography of Arkansas’s ecosystems, from the native hardwood trees in the highlands to vegetation of the wetland areas, which are both planted and original to the site. Walking paths offer families an attractive place for exercise while learning the names of the trees and plants, and an amphitheater has seating for outdoor programs or nature watching.
