At Springdell during our winter share we are fortunate enough to receive our milk from our friends at Tully Farms Dairy in Dunstable, MA. Check them out at www.highlawnfarm.com. So if it’s lowfat milk, chocolate milk, half and half or another selection, we are fueling our bodies with nutritious local milk all through the winter. Milk is, for me, a product that is very obvious when it is fresh and local, you can really taste the difference!
Milk is wonderful for our bodies. It is one of the best sources of calcium and is filled with vitamin D, which naturally helps our bodies absorb the calcium. Milk is a helper for our strong bones and teeth. Milk helps keep us hydrated while improving our vitamin intake. All in all, keep drinking friends!
Thanks to a single cow, one cow alone can:
In order to produce so much milk we can enjoy, cows eat about 100 pounds of food a day and enjoy up to 50 gallons of water a day too!
This is officially a favorite in the Anderson household. If you have a food processor, it’ll make short work of the crust, but if you don’t, a fork and a knife will get the job done, too. This recipe was originally adapted from a Cooking Light berry galette recipe, so the crust is perfect for a flexible filling (though peach is our favorite so far). Try it warm or cold with a dollop of freshly whipped cream.
Prepare a pie crust, fill it with springtime goodness, and you’re off to the races with this flexible recipe. Mozzarella House cheeses go great with the springtime veggies in this dish, not to mention the cheese and garlic sausage.
If you’re looking for a way to get uninterested folks to eat sweet potato, look no further! This pie was gone in one sitting, with the young potato-haters coming back for seconds. I followed this basic recipe with a few tweaks, microwaving instead of boiling the sweet potatoes, and cutting the sugar back by about 1/4 cup. The mixture was a tiny bit chunkier than smooth, but i have no regrets, as the flavor of the sweet potato really popped!
