Embedded Files
We are proud to tap into the work of Alice Water's Edible Schoolyard Project founded in Berkley, California.
Here is their mission:
The Edible Schoolyard Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the transformation of public education by using organic school gardens, kitchens, and cafeterias to teach both academic subjects and the values of nourishment, stewardship, and community.
Edible education provides hands-on experiences that connect students to food, nature, and each other; and it systematically addresses the crises of climate change, public health, and social inequality. At its heart is a dynamic and joyful learning experience for every child.
<---That's the amazing Alice Waters. Thank you Alice! We love you!
What's
Cooking?
HERE'S WHAT WE'VE MADE SO FAR!
A note about our Recipe Cards:
Some of our recipes are formatted for use in class. The cards are printed on two sides so that the paper can be folded in half. This lets the chef focus on each stage of prep at a time as they cook.
This nut-free recipe has great crunch and just the right amount of sweetness from our Brittany Woods honey harvest! We flavored the yogurt with jelly made from our blackberries.
The recipe is at the end of this slideshow which points out what a processed food is. Did you know that they aren't all unhealthy? The trick is to be mindful about what we eat!
What do you do when you buy too many rolled oats? Well, lots of things! In this case, we made cookies. (It's possible that we subbed in chocolate chips...)
Easy Homemade Hot Pepper Jelly
A great way to start out if you're new to canning!
There are lots of chocolate chip cookie recipes, but the fan favorite seems to be the ones on the back of the chocolate chip cookie packages!
These were our top seller at the Brittany Brand Pop-Up Market! HOWEVER, we think it's because we took the time to roast our pumpkins and make puree. (It took us days, so that was LOVE everyone was tasting.)
BONUS :
Mrs. Cummings' Homemade Hot Chocolate
Note: This is cheaper than mixes, is less processed, and it tastes expensive even though you can get these ingredients in any store including discount groceries.
Makes 5-ish cups
1 quart milk
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup sugar
dash of salt
dash of cinammon (don't skip this!)
dash of vanilla extract
Heat the milk until it's warm, then add the ingredients. Because cocoa powder is high in fat, the milk needs to be warm so it can combine smoothly with the milk. Mixing with a whisk will help, if you have one. If not, try a fork!
Once the hot chocolate is finished, give it a taste. Add a little bit more of anything you think would make it taste exactly how you want it to. This is what great cooks do!
FYI: Here's a great site that talks about the science behind GREAT chocolate milk! Our 7th graders cover this in science!
