Are you looking for easy recipes that the whole family will love? We are sharing three recipes that are so easy, that your kids can even help you prepare them. The star ingredient of these easy recipes is Tre Stelle – healthy, low-to-no-waste, ecologically responsible cheeses made with 100% Canadian dairy.

Tre Stelle recently launched Cheese4Change as part of their continued effort to work toward a more sustainable future and reach their goal of carbon net zero by 2050. They are awarding four grants of $5K to schools, and four grants of $500 to students who share recipes and videos of their commitment to the planet with climate and nature friendly foods. 

They partnered with Canada’s best known gardening expert, Frank Ferragine AKA Frankie Flowers and Steph Gibson, among others to get the message out for Cheese4Change. The experts are parents that want to create a sustainable future for their children. The recipe ingredients  are sourced locally (where possible) and create very little waste.

Why not try making these easy recipes with your kids today?
