For the second year in a row, Michigan's dairy farmers are proud to have partnered with the @detroitpistons and @planetfitness to provide another Detroit Public Schools Community District (@detroitk12) school a remodeled weight room.

Students at Western International High School were surprised with the state-of-the-art facility now equipped with new equipment and a stocked fueling station of milk and other snacks so they can properly train and fuel themselves for performance.

Here are a few highlights from the unveiling!

This spooktacular spread is a bone building (and chilling) way to celebrate Halloween. 🧀🎃 Incorporate cheese, fruit and veggies with a few of your favorite treats for a fang-tastic snack. 👻

#RG @stefmturner Tricked the girls into eating some healthy stuff along with the traditional movie snacks. Fruit 🍓, cheese 🧀 + a few sugary snacks sprinkled in. I had so much fun putting this Hocus Pocus themed spread together, and I’m hoping to actually watch the movie tomorrow… turns out, the kids were more into the snacks than they were the movie.

This board is perfect for any Halloween event and so easy to make! @milkmeansmore
Here was my shopping list:
- Brie cheese x 3
- Nutterbutters
- Candy 👀 eyes
- White melting chocolate
- Strawberries
- Blackberries
- Kiwi
- Dried apricots
- Black olives
- Twizzlers pull & peel
- Salami
- Pretzel thins
- Pretzel sticks
- Mini peanut butter cups
- White cheddar cheese puffs

Save now, and make later, and tag me if you make it! I would love to see your boards! 💁🏼‍♀️

No better way to celebrate #HispanicHeritageMonth than with a taste of Guatemalan culture! Canillitas de leche, a popular quick dessert, is made with milk and sugar.

#DYK the name Canillitas comes from the diminutive Canilla, which is a Guatemalan term for leg shins? 🦵 The shape of these resembles skinny legs, and therefore its name!

1 cup whole milk⁣
1 can (12 fl oz) evaporated milk⁣
2 cups sugar⁣
1 cinnamon stick⁣
1 tsp. vanilla extract⁣
1 cup cornstarch⁣
⁣
• Mix all the ingredients (except the cornstarch) in a pot over low heat and let it boil.⁣
• Stir the ingredients consistently with a wooden spoon until it reaches a temperature of 240°F and the mixture is smooth. This should take approximately an hour.⁣
• Once it has reached the desired temperature, remove the pan from the stove and take out the cinnamon stick.⁣
• Stir vigorously until the mixture is cool and has thickened.⁣
• Coat your hands with cornstarch to shape the candy to your desired shape and let it cool in the refrigerator.⁣
• Once they have hardened, they are ready to eat.

Enjoy!

Midweek meal prepping! 🌽

In our final Virtual Show & Tell, Farmer Kip explains how corn is harvested and properly stored so he can feed it to his cows throughout the next year. Corn silage is mixed with other ingredients to create a balanced casserole that provides cows the energy they need to produce high-quality milk.

Farmer Kip recently took us on a virtual tour of his dairy! Watch the recording by clicking on our bio.

Step aside geography. School meals are world class! 🏫💯 It’s #WorldSchoolMilkDay and Michigan mom Brooke Cummings (@mycasualmom) shares why the lunch line is one of her tools for a successful school year. 🥛🥪

#RG @mycasualmom Yay for Hadley’s school having visitors again! Double yay for joining her for lunch yesterday!

Hadley takes hot lunch a couple times a week, and let me tell you, Craig and I are both grateful for that!

We know her meals are balanced and she likes to be more in control of her choices on those days! Yesterday it was cheesy pull apart sandwich (grilled cheese) fruit, veggies and of course MILK! @milkmeansmore

Did you know? Milk contains a nutrient package unlike any other beverage. Students who drink one 8-oz carton of milk with a school meal receive eight more grams of protein, as well as other nutrients critical for kids and teens, compared to a school meal without milk. The milk served with a school meal counts as one of the three servings of dairy children aged nine and older need each day.

That’s my girl!
Xo, Brooke

Food should not be an impossible choice. The dairy community is committed to ensuring nutrient-rich foods such as milk, cheese and yogurt are accessible to all.

Take action with us this #HungerActionMonth by…

❤️ Volunteering your time at a food pantry in your community

or

🥛 Donating a gallon of milk to a food bank at milklife.com/give/pouritforward

#RG @messykennedy September is #HungerActionMonth and this is something I feel passionately about. My milk cooperative and cooperatives across the state donate thousands of gallons of milk to Michigan food pantries in partnership with different grocery stores and milk processors. Milk Means More provides the infrastructure for providing dairy at food pantries through grants. Locally, I donate dairy and other shelf stable foods to any local daycare or classroom that might need snacks for the families who are food insecure.

Food is such an important part of my life and it’s life sustaining. My goal is to make it so no one has to wonder where their next meal is going to come from.

Dairy farmers are always looking for opportunities to reuse and recycle resources on the farm to reduce their environmental footprint.

For the Reid family, progress looked like harnessing solar power by installing 96 solar panels on their freestall barn. 💡☀️ On a sunny day, they produce more than enough power for the farm and the panels reduce electricity costs by about 30%!

Dairy farmers across the state have begun to harvest corn as feed for their cows! 🐄🌽

The entire plant including the stalk, cob, kernels and leaves are chopped up then transported back to the farm where the material is stored in silos and preserved through fermentation.

Corn is high in energy 🔋 and a key component in the total mixed ration, or casserole, cows eat each day.

Have you ever wondered what a day in the life of a dairy cow is like? 🐄 Spoiler alert! They rest and eat the majority of the day. How great does that sound?

The other few hours are spent socializing with other cows, walking to and from the milking parlor, and receiving quality care from dairy farmers.
