From Tractor to Truck to Table: IN Agriculture Appreciation Month

by Ann-Marie on March 18, 2013

Little_Eataly_Pasta

When you think of Indiana, what comes to mind?

The Indianapolis Colts.
The Indy 500.
Corn.
Basketball.
And for many, Home.

What about these add-ons?

Duck.
Watermelon.
Wine.

Gov_PenceHuh? Yep, it’s true. Indiana is THE leading commercial producer of duck, in the top 10 states for watermelon and 13th in wine production! Who knew?! (Well if you’re an Indiana farmer you may ‘knew’).

A couple of weeks ago I had the privilege of attending a Legislative Luncheon to kick off Indiana’s Agriculture Appreciation Month, hosted by Indiana’s Family of Farmers. The event included talks by Indiana Governor Mike Pence and Lt. Governor Sue Ellspermann along with representatives from Indiana’s agricultural associations, farmers and (my favorite part of all) … food trucks (such as the divine dish above from Little Eataly)!

As I’ve worked with Indiana’s Family of Farmers over the past year, I’ve gained a greater appreciation for agriculture, and respect for the process of moving “from tractor to truck”, and I’ll add “to table”.

One of my kids’ favorite things to do in the summer is to pick berries, and I love visiting farmer’s markets to try new cheeses, herbs and tomatoes. I love that my kids are getting their hands dirty and willing to try new things when they’re picked fresh from a field. Last summer we grew tomatoes for the first time, and we’ll be repeating it with new varieties this year. We may not grow duck, or watermelon or grapes, but we can still involve our kids in planting, watering, picking and tasting.

Here are a few fun facts I have recently learned about the foods we eat:

  • Family farmers grow a whopping 90% of corn in the U.S.
  • Most milk travels only 100 miles from the farm to the grocery store.
  • Pork is the WORLD’s most widely eaten meat, and 25 million people each year are fed by Indiana pork producers!

So the next time you’re at the grocery store buying milk, remember it likely came from your own state, and remember the farming families that are responsible for providing your family’s meals!

Salsa Me Krazy: Quick & Tangy Egg Muffin Recipe

by Ann-Marie on March 6, 2013

SMK_egg_muffin_sm

My 3rd grade daughter just started ISTEP testing this week, so to try and give her a different protein source for her breakfast than the standard scrambled eggs, I tried something different!

Last weekend I gave a trial run of this recipe that I’ll call a Quick & Tangy Egg Muffin. It uses Salsa Me Krazy which is a sweet, tangy salsa that uses all-natural, American-grown ingredients and no artificial preservatives.

The “quick” part of the recipe is that I cooked the egg in the microwave (What?! I know!!). Not that eggs take a long time in the skillet, but to make a great round little egg patty for the sandwich, it just works so well this way.

Ingredients for 1 Quick & Tangy Egg Muffin:

Easy peazy directions:

Using a 1-cup round glass dish (I use this Pyrex one), spray the bottom with non-stick cooking spray. Crack egg and scramble with fork in glass dish. Add in 1-2 tsp milk, if desired. Cook uncovered for 1 minute on high in the microwave. You’ll notice it puffs up, then lays back down in a lumpish sort of way, kind of like how I feel on Mondays:

Toast your English muffin and spread with a little butter. Lay the egg on the bottom, top with Salsa Me Krazy and sprinkle with cheese.

You can find out more about my first Salsa Me Krazy experience, and purchase a jar to try for yourself at SalsaMeKrazy.com. In fact, the entire month of March you can purchase as much as you like for 30% off! No promo code required, just head here to purchase and the discount will be automatically applied. Enjoy!

If you like this recipe, your friends will too! Please consider sharing it with the buttons at the top of the post, or clicky right here for easy pinning:

I don’t really know, but figured I should still include that in a disclaimer so you don’t come after me if your kid scores poorly. See my disclosure policy for more information.
