Nicholls State University Community Nutrition Students conducted a cooking demonstration at the Thibodaux Food Bank on November 8th.  The focus of the demonstration was "new ways to use of fruit and vegetables" in the diet.  The students prepared seasoned green beans and broiled pineapples and peaches.  All ingredients used were items regularly given to food bank clients.   Participants were also given a marinated three bean salad to sample.  All participants were provided recipes, a brochure containing tips on using fruit and vegetables, a list of Local Farmers Markets and the ingredients to prepare the foods demonstrated.
