It's Grrrreat! (sorry Tony, I'm not talking about Frosted Flakes)

Food Science students kick up their fiber intake by making homemade granola with flax seeds, oatmeal, and an assortment of dried fruits.  

Roux-lers of the Universe

Family Foods students practiced their dairy-licous skills by preparing a cream soup of their choice. 

 Their only requirement? Their recipe had to include a ROUX.

Roll with it

Advanced Foods students began their yeast breads unit by making the ultimate breakfast treat, CINNAMON ROLLS.  They didn't even miss the extra stick of butter I took out of the recipe before they got their hands on it... :)

Pepperoni Pizza? Oh no, no...

Advanced Foods students continued their journey through their yeast bread unit making pizzas from across America.  Recipes: Basic Pizza Crust and Pizzas Across America

Baked, not fried!

Move over McDonalds- Family Foods students know how to make their own Chicken Nuggets.  Breaded and BAKED (not fried!!), teams made their own nuggets and dipping sauces for the class to try.  Winning entries voted on by the students themselves included a "Fancy" sauce (made from wasabi horseradish, mayo, and ketchup) and a Buffalo Spicy Sauce.

One sweet experiment

Food Science students analyzed various interfering agents in crystallization when making homemade fudge.  The best, you ask? Try out the EXPERIMENT and find out!

          (OK, it was half and half)

Spice up your life

Culinary Arts students researched herbs and spices used in today's cuisine.  Each group chose one herb/spice to base a recipe for an open-cupboard challenge.
