Rory’s “Best of All”

GiGi’s Kitchen Adult has become one of our participants’ favorite programs since its launch in January 2024. We love to see how excited everyone is to participate each Thursday, and it’s even more thrilling when they take their enthusiasm home to practice what they learn with their family! This fall was Rory’s first experience in the program, and he wasted no time showing off his new skills at home.

This is why we’re celebrating Rory’s #BestOfAll!  

In the pictures below you can see Rory making some tasty recipes, like buffalo chicken dip and breakfast pizza. With the Buffalo Chicken Dip (his favorite thing to make), he helped read the recipe and measure the ingredients. Rory used an electric mixer to whip everything together before placing it in the oven. He turned the oven dial to the correct temperature, and set the timer so his dip wouldn’t burn.

Another day, Rory helped make breakfast pizza. He rolled out the dough and sprinkled all the ingredients on top, making sure they were evenly distributed. He practiced oven safety using mitts on both hands, and again, set the oven temperature and timer to complete his dish.  

Rory’s sister-in-law, Kelly, reports Rory’s a big help in the kitchen at home. Once the dishes are clean, he loves drying and putting them all away. He also makes his own sandwich to take to school each day for lunch.

In addition to GiGi’s Kitchen Adult, Rory has been a regular in our Friends, Fun, & Fitness and Fantastic Friends programs, since the fall of 2021. We are so happy he was able to try out GiGi’s Kitchen and can’t wait to see his culinary passion and adventures continue!
