Congratulations to our culinary program and students who won the Kansas State on a Plate recipe challenge. These recipes are now being vetted by the USDA to be included in school lunch and snack programs throughout the nation!
The following two recipes are from VFHS:
Kansas Granola: The recipe, developed by Valley Falls High School students, was modified to include roasted soybeans and wheat as a local ingredients, as oats fit for human consumption are hard to locally source to scale in Kansas.
Berry Delicious, an applesauce mixture that included aronia berries (also known as chokeberries).
