ProStart Invitational 2015

Both ProStart teams had awesome performances and represented Pulaski extremely well at the Wisconsin ProStart Invitational.  Our high school management team took second place in the state with their made-to-order pierogi concept.  It's always great to show off our Polish pride, especially in our food; perhaps one day we'll open this restaurant here in Pulaski :).  Please congratulate Grant Bachman, Bailey Baron, and Morgan VandenLangenberg on their 2nd place win and each receiving over $28,000 scholarships to culinary schools across the country! 

Our culinary team also did an amazing job, with judge comments including having the best poached fruit in the competition, as well as outstanding teamwork & communication.  Please congratulate Emma Bestul, Emilee Hendricks, Natalie Nickerson, and Destiny Prendiville on a great performance.

Mix Up the Measurements

If silence wasn't bad enough for their previous lab, now I gave them a recipe without exact measurements! Family Foods 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 :)

Cupcake Delivery to Shelters in Green Bay

As the Advanced Foods students finished their semester of baking and global cuisine, we concluded the class with a world hunger unit.  In appreciation of all we have, we donated close to 300 cupcakes to the NEW Shelter and Freedom House Shelter, both in Green Bay, Wisconsin. In addition to making massive amounts of cupcakes, students also created commercials highlighting the myths of hunger; check out their work on the Advanced Foods page of my website.
