Ingredient: Milk


» Jump to recipes using Milk as an ingredient


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

Herbed Popovers

Popovers are light and fluffy little rolls that make wonderful accompaniments to hearty soups, stews, gravies, or just by themselves! The pastry flour brings an extra element of lightness and fluffiness to these lovely treats. Adding fresh herbs or herbed butter is an option as well! A muffin pan can fill in if a popover pan isn’t available.


Dutchess Potatoes

Looking for a way to impress your dinner guests? This recipe will do it. These fancy potatoes look amazing and a croud pleaser every time. You can freeze these cuties too!


Spinach Spoon Bread Soufflé

Farm fresh cornmeal gives a nice texture to the edge of this soufflé, which blends nicely with the granular texture of freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. The spinach is able to shine through the light and airy makeup of the dish.
