During this time of synchronous and asynchronous learning, students enrolled in Sasha Roble’s F&N program must be provided with alternative non-cooking assignments. During this unit of study, students learn how to rehab or alter recipes using The Mayo Clinic’s Five Recipe Make-Over Tips. Students then apply those five tips to a March Madness Menu Planning with Recipe Rehab Assignment.

Instructional Procedures
- Students that are currently face-to-face will be in the culinary lab preparing a variety of rehabbed appetizer recipes.

- Students must first create a copy of the March Madness Non-Cooking Activity Google Slides Presentation.
- They will then design a cohesive themed menu for a themed tail-gate of their choice that includes: a beverage, a dip, two appetizers (one must be vegetarian or vegan) and dessert.
- Students must change the yield of the recipes to serve 12.
- At the end of the assignment, students reflect on their menu theme and explain how they would alter at least one of their chosen recipes.
