New to the Kewaskum community this school year- thanks to the partnerships of KHS FUTP60, the Kewaskum school nutrition department, the Boys n Girls club and Geidel’s Piggly Wiggly- is the expansion of the harvest of the month program. FUTP60 students hand out the prepared harvest recipe as a tasting to Boys and Girls club students and then those students are sent home with a free voucher to be redeemed during that month at the Piggly Wiggly. Then they can create the recipe with their families!

Each month, Fuel Up to Play 60 students hand out "veggie of the month" samples to each of the students so they can get a taste of what is on the school lunch menu in hopes it will encourage them to try it and then go out and also buy it at the local grocery store! This month- asparagus.

April showers. We only love it because it means gardening is right around the corner. I was happy to discover kale in my garden this week. I did not pull the plants out at the end of last season and it has re-sprouted, I guess! Has anyone else experienced this? Thankfully, kale is also the veggie of the month. Kale chips are the best! There are tons of recipes out there but what is easiest for me is the dehydrator. Kale, olive oil, sea salt, in dehydrator. Bam. Kale chips. Yum!

This is a great reason to attend the Driven to Better Health Night this Thursday March 10th 5:30-8:30 at Kewaskum High School. We are raising money to help our children know what a garden is and where food comes from. If you believe in this too, please come support the Kewaskum Farm to School Program!

Happy March 1st! If you have any leftover carrots from last month's veggie of the month then combine them with this month's veggie- Spinach! Yum! Find them at Kewaskum Schools and Geidel's Piggy Wiggly!

While nothing could be easier to toss in a salad, mild-mannered baby spinach always seems to fall flat. What could we do to ruffle this pile of leaves?

We have some great writers in the area- check out this blog by one of the KMS Fuel Up to Play 60 student ambassador stars!

I was recently cleaning out my family garden for the winter and decided to multi-task by exercising with the vegetables at the same time! Not only are they good for eating, but good for a workout too as they are quite heavy! Can anyone name the vegetable I am holding?

Wow! January is flying by! We hope you are enjoying the veggie of the month at school (Thanks Kewaskum School District!) and in your home (thanks Geidel's Piggly Wiggly!). Made this recipe and loved it!

Simple, 30-minute Butternut Squash Soup infused with coconut milk and curry powder! A soul-warming, flavorful soup that's perfect for fall and winter.

Please share your wonderful parsnips recipe ideas!

We'll be the first to admit it, parsnips are kind of weird. But these recipes will convince you they're also great.
