Whole Wheat Scones

Scones became popular in England in the 1700s, thanks to Anna, the Duchess of Bedford. She was known for  ordering them everyday for her afternoon tea. You can eat them at any time of day and they can be made sweet or savoury. The key to a good scone is to not overwork the dough. In this recipe we are using whole wheat and a combination of cranberries and orange zest. You can get as creative as you like with these treats and try other flavours when making this recipe.

Yield: 8 scones
Preparation Time: About 25 minutes
Baking Time: About 25 minutes @ 425 F

rhubarb compote

Rhubarb Compote

It’s a true sign of spring when rhubarb pokes its head out of the ground. This BC vegetable grows all over, including in many school gardens, yet we’re surprised that many children don’t know what it is when we introduce it to them. Tart when fresh, to be sure, but when cooked with a little sweetness, oh what a difference!

Herby Egg and Collard Green Wraps

Collard greens are a member of the Brassica Oleracea family of veggies that include cabbage, broccoli and kale. This dark green leaf grows right here in BC and you often find them at the farmers’ markets. They’re high in vitamins A and C and they can be eaten raw or cooked. In this recipe we roll up herby scrambled eggs inside a big, raw leaf like a burrito. If you don’t have collard greens, can you think of some other large, leafy vegetables to use? You can even roll the eggs up in a flatbread.

Yield: 3 wraps
Preparation Time: About 10 minutes
Cooking Time: About 3 minutes

whole wheat baguette

Whole Wheat Baguette

Today’s delicious baguette is a whole grain recipe. Canada’s Food Guide recommends that about a 1/4 of our plate should be whole grains. Grains are made up of three parts, the Germ, the Bran & the Endosperm. Each part contains different and valuable nutrients to keep us healthy. White breads have the germ and bran removed. Does it make sense to take away two parts of the nutrition before eating it? We recommend eating whole grain breads to fuel your body with all three parts of nutrition from the grain. Try baking this French style of bread.

Yield: 1 baguette
Preparation time: About 2 hours
Baking time: About 45 minutes
