Cheryl led the Volunteer crew in the MOFGA kitchen on Volunteer Work Day. While other crews cleaned the fair grounds, Cheryl’s crew put together a feast for the upcoming Earth Day festivities as well as a tasty table for the day’s lunch.
So made that day and tuck away in the freezer for later use:
• 4 dozen carrot apple muffins
• 14 loaves of whole grain boule
• 15 assorted casseroles for the Volunteers for Earth Day
Volunteers were rewarded with a great lunch that day:
- Carrot apple muffins
- Braised rabbit with roots and white beans
- April Root Cellar Slaw with Cranberry Vinaigrette
- Barbour Farm Sparkling Cider
YUM!
