Food always plays a memorable role in the holidays, so this year, why not involve your children in making these memories with easy and sustainable holiday recipes they can prepare for the whole family!
Lacia-Paige Cummings, a Canadian high school student and eco-advocate, designed a sustainable holiday menu that encourages kids to join the festivities in the kitchen while incorporating sustainable practices. Lacia’s holiday menu includes a kid-friendly appetizer, dessert, and breakfast recipe with inventive ways to repurpose leftovers from holiday parties.
As the winner of Tre Stelle’s Cheese4Change competition, Lacia appreciates the value of cooking sustainably. Cheese4Change rewards Canadian students with $500, and schools with $5,000 for their sustainable behaviour and recipes.
Continuing her legacy, Lacia designed a holiday menu encouraging kids to join in on the holiday meal prep with her favourite sustainable recipes from the all-new Bites by Tre Stelle APP. For more information on Cheese4Change or to enter, please click here: www.trestelle.ca/cheese4change
