Peanut Butter = Pantry MVP
Creamy or crunchy, sweet or savory - peanut butter packs a powerful protein punch. Spread it on toast, swirl it in oatmeal, or dip fruits and veggies in it for snacks that satisfy.

Can't do peanuts? Try other nut butters for delicious treats.

🌿From Soil to Supper 🌿 Healthy soil grows healthy food, and healthy food nourishes people and the planet. 🌎💚

Big Blue Book Club is back in its original format via Zoom! Mark your calendars for MONDAYS, beginning October 27 through November 17, as we read Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts by Crystal Wilkinson. A watch party option will be available at the Greenup County Extension Office!
"A keeper of her family's stories and treasured dishes, Crystal Wilkinson shares her inheritance in Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts. She found their stories in her apron pockets, floating inside the steam of hot mustard greens, and tucked into the sweet scent of clove and cinnamon in her kitchen. Part memoir, part cookbook, Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts weaves together those stories together with recipes, family photos, and a lyrical imagination to present a culinary portrait of a family that has lived and worked the earth of the mountains for over a century."
Registration for this series opens September 2, 2025 on the website, ukfcs.net/BigBlueBookClub. As always, the first 200 registered participants will receive a free copy of the book.
