Team Member recipe approved for USDA’s Child Nutrition Recipe Box

Child Nutrition Recipe Box (CNRB) provides Child Nutrition Program operators with recipes that are standardized to provide meal pattern crediting information for meal pattern components. Recipes that meet the USDA’s standards must also include legumes, whole grains, and vegetables from the vegetable subgroups including dark green, red, and orange vegetables.
The item developed by Heidler and Spears credits as a 1 oz. grain and 1/8 cup red/orange vegetable and was developed with funding from USDA’s Team Nutrition Training Grant for School Meal Recipe Development.
