Freedom Respite Program

Wednesday marked our 2nd of 6 weeks of Fitness Classes with Bucciachio Counselling and Fitness! We started with a warmup of jumping jacks, running in place and skipping. We used resistance bands to work our back with seated rows and deadlifts. We used agility ladders and sensory tiles to practice footwork and coordination. We launched medicine balls as hard into the ground as we could and then finished the day with a little boxing. 💪
Is it easy? Not so much. But guess what? We’re learning WE CAN DO hard things!!! ❤️ Peter J Bucciachio

Cooking Class #5 was all about whipping up a sweet treat! Today we learned how to make fruit crumble and milkshakes! 😋

Cooking Class #3 focused on Dinner and food for the soul…. Meat Pies! 🥧

Today, our participants created their own homemade meat pies—from mixing and rolling the dough to shaping each one by hand. They had the choice of savoury beef or roasted chicken, and the results were incredible!

To round out the meal, we also prepared a fresh garden salad—simple, healthy, and the perfect complement to our pies.

We’re especially grateful to be learning from the best—our amazing chef and instructor Cheryl, the owner of Coffyn Piez—who continues to share her expertise, passion, and love of cooking with our group each week.

Another delicious success and lots of proud smiles all around! Cheryl Abela Cooking Classes with Coffyn Piez
