Milk still does a body good, that’s for sure. And now, the California Milk Advisory Board is supporting Southern California schools with up to $2 million in cash books and other prizes. Kids will enjoy participating in the drive and all parents need to do is continue to buy diary products (full details below). Or, if you’re like me, you probably will buy a bit more to increase your school’s chance of winning a prize. So what to do with all the extra milk you may have on hand? Make healthier desserts, of course.

The vanilla pudding recipe below is very easy to make in a pinch. We find it plenty sweet with 1/4 cup of sugar, but add more if it’s too your liking. Or, use agave syrup. I would imagine this would be great for gluten free kids (and adults) too.

Because I don’t like the idea of making something with raw egg that my daughter will eat, the dressing is bottled which cuts out a ton of work.

Contrary to popular belief, soda bread was not invented by the Irish.  In the 18th century, the American Indians were the first recorded as using soda ash to leaven bread. Baking soda bread became popular in Ireland, because it’s cheap (baking soda is less expensive than yeast) and easy to make.  Due to poor conditions, yeast also wasn’t always available.  The combination of baking soda and the lactic acid in buttermilk is what makes the [...]
