Our commitment to connecting kids with healthy food has never been stronger!
Usually at this time of year, Common Threads Food Educators would be busy cooking with kids in classrooms at schools all across Whatcom County. Since we can’t do that right now, we hope these recipes and videos will take their place.
The following recipes have been specially designed so that it’s possible to make them using only foods that are available in the winter break distribution box provided by the Bellingham Public Schools’ Good Food Project:
- Orange Smoothie / Licuado de Naranja
- Carrot Ginger Soup / Sopa de Zanahoria y Jengibre
- Carrot Raisin Salad / Ensalada de Pasas y Zanahorias
- Apple Crumble / Manzanas Crujientes
What do I do with food box items I won’t use? Sustainable Connections is working with Bellingham Public Schools to reduce food waste. If there is an item you won’t use, you can bring it back with you to the next food box pick up.
How can I share my photos, recipe reviews, ideas and more? We want to see what you make! Send us your Winter Break Box creations, ideas, photos, and recipes @CommonThreadsFarm on Facebook, Instagram, by emailing info@commonthreadsfarm.org or texting (360-927-1590).
You can also share your opinion on the content of Bellingham Public School’s food boxes by filling out this survey.
