  • Farm to School Recipes
    Home Grown: Farm to School Recipes Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Tony Evers, State Superintendent Madison, Wisconsin Wisconsin Team Nutrition (WI TN), in partnership with the University of Wisconsin-Madison Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems (UW-CIAS), is pleased to present Home Grown: Farm to School Recipes to assist schools in implementing or expanding a farm to school program. In Wisconsin, farm to school programs combine local or regional procurement efforts, nutrition and agricultural education, and student engagement activities such as school gardening in order to provide students with the broadest benefits. For more information about the benefits of farm to school, please visit http://www.farmtoschool.org/Resources/BenefitsFactSheet.pdf. Interested in getting started with farm to school? UW-CIAS has developed the Wisconsin Farm to School: Toolkit for School Nutrition Programs to assist you in getting started (http://www.cias.wisc.edu/toolkits/). The Home Grown: Farm to School Recipes feature products grown and produced in Wisconsin, but also include products available through the USDA Foods program. The majority of recipes in this collection are included in the Home Grown: Menus of Wisconsin three-week cycle menu. The cycle menu was designed for use in the winter months and feature recipes that include Wisconsin products like apples, cranberries, winter squash, potatoes, and dairy. The Home Grown: Farm to School Recipes resource also contains recipes featuring crops available in Wisconsin throughout different times of the school year. These recipes feature crops such as summer squash, salad greens, and tomatoes. The majority of these recipes were not included in the cycle menus due to the availability of these products and the cost associated with purchasing products out of season.

  • Apples in Appealing Ways
    Historic, archived document Do not assume content reflects current scientific knowledge, policies, or practices i A in appeauna ways leaflet fto. 3/2 U. S. Department of Agriculture —— fiPPCSS in appealing ways Almost everyone enjoys apples. And there are so many ways to use apples that a family need never tire of them. This leaflet is designed to supplement the better-known apple recipes given in many cook books. You will find here variations on favor- ite ways of using the fruit. Recipes calling for applesauce and apple juice are included. All recipes have been developed or adjusted by research methods, to arrive at up-to-date, dependable directions. Nutritionally speaking Many families eat apples liberally, for apples regularly take first or second place among the country's most widely used fruits. Eaten in generous quantities, especially raw, apples can provide some vitamin C. The food value, however, varies considerably, depending on such factors as variety, storage conditions temperature and length of keeping—and finally the way the fruit is kept and served at home. Bottled or canned apple juice frequently is fortified with vitamin C and so labeled. A small or medium-size apple makes a very pleasant low-calorie dessert. Choose your apples In choosing apples, look for a variety that suits family taste and the uses you have in mind. Many varieties are good for all purposes general cooking, baking whole, eating raw. Tart, firm apples are generally best liked for cooking; sweeter apples, for eating raw. (See table on pages 4 and 5 for descriptions of 12 well-known varieties.) Most recipes in this leaflet provide four servings; a few provide more.
