Breast Cancer Family Foundation Visit

Erin DeGroot, Executive Director of the Breast Cancer Family Foundation (Green Bay),  provided a powerful message to Foods for Life students about the importance of early detection and how lifestyles chosen now can impact the rest of their lives.  Students walked away with knowledge, detection pamphlets, and cards to help remind loved ones to follow through with medical exams.  

If you haven't done so, I highly encourage everyone to check out the Breast Cancer Family Foundation web-site for additional resources and opportunities to support their organization.

In addition, please check out the YouTube video "My Sixteen Year Old Me" below and share with your family and friends on Facebook, Twitter, and anywhere else that will help in spreading this important message of the crucial consequences connected with lack of early detection.

Savvy about Sandwiches

Culinary 2 students designed a mock sandwich shop for our local community.  Here are a few samples of sandwiches prepared.

Life without Measurements

If silence wasn't bad enough for their previous lab, now we gave them a recipe without exact measurements! Foods for Life students had to work together in determining what they considered a "handful," a "smidge," and a "scoop" of ingredients.  The wonderful ending is that with the ingredients they are given, there really isn't a way for it not to taste good :)

Perfect Pancakes

Baking & Pastry students used the quick bread muffin method to plan and prepare pancakes of their choice. 

Eggs Benedict Bonanza

Eggs Benedict... yes, please! Culinary Arts 2 students practice 

their poaching, sauce, and plating skills using this recipe.  

Mystery Basket Challenge

Green Bay Restaurant Week Kick-Off Event a Success!!!

What is Restaurant Week?

    Green Bay Restaurant Week allows everyone to experience great food and prices that delight your palate and your wallet. This culinary event featured discounted prix fixe menus from 70 area restaurants. Food lovers simply dined out at as many participating restaurants as they liked during Greater Green Bay Restaurant Week July 9-16.

Restaurant Week Kick-Off Event

As an added bonus this year, the event partners graciously created a kick-off event to benefit the two largest high school culinary programs in the area, Pulaski and Preble High Schools.  All food and facilities were donated to the event and all proceeds from ticket sales were donated to the two high school ProStart programs.  

As a friendly competition, each school will have 5 teams of 3 students planning and preparing 2 hors d'oeuvres, 1 hot and 1 cold, totaling 20 different appetizers for event visitors to sample and choose their favorite for the People's Choice Award!  

Results:

The event was a HUGE SUCCESS! Ticket sales were phenomenal and the schools were only 8 tickets apart! Because of Preble's teacher, Laurie Spence, the ticket sales were split evenly.

The Wisconsin Restaurant Association Brown County Chapter donated an additional $1000 to each school's program!

I am just so tremendously grateful for Pulaski's program to be included for this event. It was a new and exciting challenge/opportunity that my students are already plotting for future years (I don't know who they get that competitive spirit from ).
