by: The Chahrour Family Lucy, Nolan and Isla’s grandfather, Chaker, is from Lebanon. Although we eat Lebanese food pretty regularly, when we drive to Wisconsin every Christmas and celebrate with some of our family, we always make some there too. Source: Lucy, Isla, and Nolan’s grandfather Chaker Ingredients Eggplant Lemon Garlic Tahini (optional) Salt olive oil/za’atar (optional) Recipe Steps Preheat your oven to 350 degrees (or up to 400 if you are making other things). If you can, use a grill – it tastes way better from the grill – to a medium high heat. Wash the eggplant and prick it with a fork or a knife all over – if you don’t your eggplant will explode and you will have a mess and no baba ganoush, and no one wants that. Put in on the grill or in the READ MORE

Broccoli Quiche
by: Mrs. Ross (Team Specialist) I started making this recipe when it was the end of the week and my groceries were getting low. I had plenty of eggs and cooked broccoli.

Flourless Chocolate Chip Banana Bread: Quarantine Edition
by: Ms. Cipolla (Second Grade Teacher) During this period of quarantine, flour was hard to come by, and we had a lot of ripe bananas to use up! We decided to try out a few new recipes for flour-less banana bread, and this one was our favorite. Although the original recipe calls for nut/seed butter, and coconut palm sugar, we swapped in regular butter and sugar as that was what we had on hand. We also did not have baking soda, but did have baking powder, so if you also have the same predicament: modify the recipe by adding 2 tsp of baking powder (and no baking soda) for the same delicious creation!

Buffalo Cauliflower
by: Mr. Solof (Kindergarten Teacher) I love spicy food! This is a fairly quick and easy recipe that works for a snack, appetizer or meal! Source: I found the recipe online but haven’t made it the same way twice. The best part is you don’t have to be too particular with it, my only guideline is that it’s better to overcook them than undercook them! Ingredients Head of CauliflowerBuffalo SauceBlue Cheese or Ranch optional Recipe Steps Preheat oven to 400 degrees F Rinse and dry cauliflower Chop cauliflower into bite sized pieces Toss cauliflower in a bowl with your favorite buffalo sauce Spread cauliflower bites onto a baking sheet Bake in oven for at least 30 minutes. I often let them go longer and broil them for a few minutes at the end because I like them crispy! Remove, READ MORE
Three-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
by: Mr. Hernandez (3rd Grade Teacher) Our family needs to eat gluten-free because of an allergy. This is a fun, gluten-free cookie recipe that makes it easy for kids to help! Source: New York Times Ingredients 1 cup peanut butter1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar1 large egg Recipe Steps In a bowl, mix together 1 cup peanut butter, 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 large egg. Roll into tablespoon-size balls or scoop and drop, spaced evenly, onto a parchment- or foil-lined sheet tray. Use the tines of a fork to press each mound down, making a crosshatch pattern on the top of the cookie. Bake at 350 degrees until set around the edges, 10 to 15 minutes. Makes about 18 cookies.

Roasted Butternut Squash Quinoa Salad
by: Mrs. Tartaglino-Fahey (Fourth Grade) This is a newer recipe for our family. We started making it about 4 years ago to take to Ossipee Lake in New Hampshire (we have a home nearby) for a delicious and portable lunch! Since then, it’s become the requested dish for family and friend barbecues! It’s gluten free, yet has lots of protein! We’ve created numerous variations…be creative! Source: This is sort of an assimilation of a number of recipes…there are few occasions where we follow a recipe at ‘face value!’ Ingredients 6 c butternut squash (1 med butternut squash), peeled/ cut in 1 inch cubes1 Tbsp olive oil1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper1 tsp dried rosemary1 cup uncooked quinoa1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped2 cups baby kale or spinach, chopped1/2 cup dried cranberries1/2 cup chopped pecans1 cup goat cheese READ MORE
3 Ingredient Strawberry Jam
by: Mrs. Tucker (1st grade teacher) A few years ago, I took a jam making class with my mom and my niece. I had never made jam before and felt a little intimidated because I knew we’d have to boil it just right and was worried about ruining it. It ended up being such a fun class and a great way to spend quality family time. This recipe is not the same one I learned in that class, but it’s a much simpler version and I think is something any family could make at home! Source: I found this recipe on the website: https://www.scatteredthoughtsofacraftymom.com/quick-homemade-strawberry-jam/ Ingredients 16 oz strawberries3/4 cup white sugar2 tbs lemon juice Recipe Steps Hull and coarsely chop your strawberries and save them to the side.
