Check out all this beautiful SCHOOL food!

October, also known as Farm to School Month, is almost over...

Now is a great time to reflect on what beautiful locally grown and/or produced menus you created!

If you didn't really do much local purchasing this year, it's ALWAYS a good time to get INSPIRED and motivated to do more local purchasing and scratch cooking!

I hope this video, all of foods produced public school cafeterias, will inspire you to do more of the same!

I'm always available to chat and to answer questions about how you can get started!

I'll be in Pasadena, CA next week for the Cal SNA Annual Conference! Me and Chef Laura are doing a breakout session at 8AM Friday, 10/31 on scratch cooking!

Happy Summer Everyone!

In this video, CherylAnn and I talk about salad bars. Not as buzzwords, but as a powerful tool that will help you serve more fresh fruits and vegetables to kids. From boosting student participation to building pride in your kitchen, salad bars are more than a side option — they’re a gateway to so much more scratch cooking! Let’s explore why every school should have one — and how you they can play a key role in your school meals program!
