Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes
Simple and effective recipe from our friends at thekitchn. A great way to use those potatoes if they start building up. I love adding sour cream or a bit of cheese.
Ingredient: Milk
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:
- produce an average of 6 gallons of milk a day
- 2,300 gallons a year
- 350,000 glasses of milk in a lifetime
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!
Recipes Using Milk
Vegetable Stew and Spinach Salad
So much of this is flexible ingredients. Use any veggies you have leftover from the week to create a warm and delicious stew.
Cinnamon Zucchini Waffles
Of course you can use a regular or wheat flour for these waffles but we go gluten fee around here. Enjoy!
