A true moment!

Shoutout to Coach D this weekend I raced for 2.5 hours in 90° weather and I knew my time training paid off when I felt like I had another lap in me! I know sometimes I don’t feel like it but going every Monday is paying off big time!

One of the best parts of school nutrition is finding creative ways to introduce students to new flavors while keeping recipes practical for busy school kitchens.

In this video, I'm joined by Chef Courtney and Chef Kelly as we prepare a quick and easy Pork Bao Bun recipe that's packed with flavor and designed for school cafeterias.

By using fresh ingredients and simple preparation methods, we're showing that school meals can be both exciting for students and achievable for cafeteria teams.

Creating great school food isn't a one person job. It takes collaboration, creativity, and a shared commitment to serving meals that nourish, engage, and inspire students.

When school nutrition professionals work together, we can bring global flavors, fresh ingredients, and scratch-cooking techniques into cafeterias in ways that make sense for our operations.

Because every student deserves access to meals that are fresh, delicious, and made with care.

What an incredible day for school nutrition in Pennsylvania 🐷🔥

The School Food Rocks and Pennsylvania Pork Producers Lunch & Learn at Mannheim Township High School brought together the people who grow our food, the professionals who serve it, and the creative minds who are shaping the future of school meals.

One of the things I love most about events like this is the opportunity to connect school nutrition teams directly with local producers. When we understand where our food comes from and hear the stories behind the farms, it changes the conversation.

Throughout the day, we learned about Pennsylvania's pork industry, explored a variety of fresh and value-added pork products, and rolled up our sleeves for a hands-on culinary challenge.

What impressed me most wasn't just the food but the collaboration. Watching school nutrition professionals share ideas, problem-solve together, and think creatively about menu development is a reminder of how much talent exists within our industry.

This is the work that moves school food forward.

A huge thank you to the Pennsylvania Pork Producers, School Food Rocks, and everyone who participated.

The ultimate Black Bean Burger is officially a wrap! 🍔✨

When Melissa Froelich-Green, North Penn Food Service Director, challenged me to develop a scratch-made veggie burger, I was all in.

After plenty of testing, tasting, and tweaking, this first run was a huge success.

Healthy, flavorful, and made entirely from scratch, this burger proves that school meals can be both nutritious and delicious.

Over the next few days, I'll be sharing more about the recipe development process, along with some behind-the-scenes moments from the kitchen that helped bring this meal to life.

Stay tuned for the journey and the final rollout!
