I received a gift card to offset the expense of my ingredients.\u00a0 By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by the California Milk Advisory Board and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest.\u00a0 I was not compensated for my time.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

California Dairy products have so much to offer.\u00a0 It meets your families nutritional and budget needs, and in many cases, needs no further preparation.\u00a0 A glass of California Milk, containing nine essential nutrients costs a mere quarter!\u00a0 That is a deal with a huge impact on your health. An ounce of cheese makes a great snack, and butter is excellent in baking products.\u00a0 It gives them a lovely color and a flavor that cannot be beat.\u00a0 The key to baked products is moderation\u2014like anything else\u2014a little is good, a lot may not be better!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is important that we all have three servings of low-fat California Dairy daily.\u00a0 This provides us with calcium and Vit. D that we all need more of in the winter.\u00a0 Our bodies can make Vit D when we are exposed to sunshine, but I haven\u2019t seen anyone out in the sun without a parka lately!\u00a0 So tip a glass of milk for health today!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I love to cook.\u00a0\u00a0 I especially love to cook recipes that I know taste great while still being healthy for my family.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know where you live, but here in Nebraska, we have spring-like weather one day, and sub-zero snow days the next.\u00a0 Winter will NOT go away.\u00a0 So, on nights when I come home and we are all frozen, we have soup for dinner with some sort of crusty bread and fruit.\u00a0 Soup is the original comfort food!\u00a0 It makes the cold go away.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I have a favorite recipe from Kraft that I like to make, which calls for many dairy products.\u00a0 It is a little higher in fat then I would like, so I thought I would work on making it healthier.\u00a0 By using low-fat dairy products and less butter, and adding more veggies, it still maintains its rich flavor, with fewer calories.\u00a0 A win-win situation for everyone!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
