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!

Colcannon

Ingredients: Butter / Cabbage / Milk / Potatoes

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I gave Alton Brown’s Colcannon a shot tonight, it was quite good! What’s there not to like about mashed potatoes and cabbage sautéed and deglazed with Irish whisky! Not to mention, drizzled with browned butter? Good stuff!

Spinach Squares

Ingredients: Butter / Cheese / Eggs / Flour / Milk / Onion / Spinach

Home milled brown rice flour is a great addition to these squares, and regular flour works too. Your choice of cheeses and complimentary veggies (such as mushroom) are welcome. Some curry or chili spices would bring a new kind of flavor to these otherwise -speak for yourself- kind of squares.
