Here at The Creative Kitchen, we love when our little chefs discover foods they enjoy eating that also help them build strong bones and healthy bodies! That’s why we love Farmland Fresh Dairies Organic Milk – it’s full of essential nutrients such as calcium, potassium, Vitamin D, Vitamin A, Vitamin B12, and much more! Farmland Fresh Dairies farmers feed their cows an organic diet grown without toxic pesticides or GMOs. And, with superior quality assurance, this line of organic milk is something parents can feel good about feeding to their kids!

The Creative Kitchen is happy to have Farmland Fresh Dairies as a sponsor for our Back to School Celebration at Lakeside at Prospect Park on August 18. Learn more here.

Get cheesy with Emmi Cheese! Emmi Cheese is steeped in tradition and craftsmanship and it shows in all of their high-quality cheese products. The Creative Kitchen loves their passionate support of farmers, cheesemakers as well as sustainable agriculture to create a product that is second to none like their non-GMO Le Gruyère AOP. Emmi Traditions Le Gruyère AOP is made using locally farmed cow’s milk that is perfect in a gooey grilled cheese sandwich little ones can enjoy or as a topping on a cheesy French onion soup.

The Creative Kitchen is happy to include Emmi USA as a Supporting Sponsor in our Whole Foods Holiday Kids Cooking Series, where kids make Tortellini Totem Poles and Breakfast Frittata Cakes!

From the Mouth of a Kid:

I ate so much cheese, mom said I’m part mouse!

From the Eyes of a Parent:

Emmi’s Le Gruyère AOP is a delicious cheese. I love being able to use it for all sorts of recipes. I love adding it to eggs for breakfast or as an addition to a cheese plate when I’m entertaining guests! Emmi’s website has a great list of recipes and pairings for their cheeses so I always have new ways to use their cheese. There are only three ingredients in Emmi’s Le Gruyère AOP so I don’t have to worry about any added artificial flavors or colors. Plus, it’s a mild cheese so even my little picky eaters like it.

Flavorful Features:

Emmi Traditions comes in an assortment of varieties:

– Le Gruyère® AOP
– Le Gruyère® AOP Réserve
– Emmentaler® AOP
– Appenzeller®

The Icing On the Cake:

Emmi adheres to strict Swiss cheese production guidelines, quality controls and environmental directives. The official quality mark AOP (Appellation d’Origine Protegée) is reserved for traditional products with long-standing regional origins. Once the Swiss Federal Office of Agriculture registers a protected designation, Emmi and other cheesemakers only use it for products that meet all requirements regarding quality, origin and production.

Time to Eat?!

Enjoy Le Gruyère AOP anytime of day. It’s perfect as a cheesy addition to fritattas like we incorporated in our Holiday Kids Cooking Classes, as a fun pairing with roasted sweet potatoes and fig jam for a take on a grilled cheese with sweet potato, or even on top of a caramelized pears and cranberry compote.

We love Organic Valley because their products come from family-owned dairy farms, where the cows are raised on organic pastures. A lunchbox classic, Organic Valley’s single-serve milk boxes comes in great flavors that will get kids drinking their dairy, and take adults on a trip down taste-bud memory lane! And because they don’t need to be stored in the fridge, they can go anywhere you or your child goes!

From the Mouth of a Kid:

It’s fun to drink milk out of a straw and to squeeze the container like a juice box! I love all the yummy flavors. The strawberry milk is my favorite!

From the Eyes of a Parent:

The boxes are just the right size for a children’s snack or lunch box. Plus, they’re convenient for traveling, without sacrificing organic, all-natural quality. I also like knowing that my purchase is helping family-owned farms. And I love that they’re not just for kids—when I need a chocolate fix, I can grab one of these and not feel guilty, too!

Flavorful Features:

Organic Valley’s single-serve milks comes in individual 8-ounce packages, convenient 4-packs, and 12-pack cases of the following varieties and flavors:

• 1%

The Icing on the Cake:

Time to Eat?!

Any time! The milks make a great lunchbox addition. They’re especially good for on-the-go meals, like at the playground or on the way to-and-from school.

Good to Go?

Yes! Since the single-serve containers are portable and don’t need to be refrigerated, they’re easy to stash in a purse for an anytime-of-day treat.

Our friends at Organic Valley now feature a MOOOOOlicious Grass-fed Milk! This all organic milk comes from cows that eat what they are supposed to eat GRASS!! NO genetically modified grains here, just fresh grass and dry forages, like hay. And when happy cows spend long days grazing away their milk delivers a bigger dose of Omega-3 and Conjugated Linoleic Acid than regular store bought milk, which help keep your family’s hearts healthy and strong!

From the Mouth of a Kid:

Mmmmm this milk is creamy and so yummy! I love to drink a whole glass at dinner and Mom says this milk helps to make my bones and heart big and strong!

From the Eyes of a Parent:

Like most parents I know my kids need to drink milk for healthy development, but I always was worrying about the hormones and antibiotics my kids were getting from regular store bought milk. That is why I love Organic Valley’s Grassmilk! I know it is completely organic and free of harmful hormones and antibiotics, and also because the cows are grass fed the milk has Conjugated Linoleic Acid, which helps to keep my family’s hearts healthy. I also love that the milk is minimally pasteurized and not homogenized, which means the milk still has the cream on the top, the way nature intended it to be!

Flavorful Features

Since the milk is minimally pasteurized and not homogenized, Grassmilk still has the cream on the top, so before serving just shake it all up!

Icing on the Cake!

Small batches ensure great quality!

Time to Eat?!

Anytime of the day! Enjoy with breakfast, lunch, snack and even dinner!

Good to Go?

Place the milk kid sized reusable containers for a healthful and refreshing drink to accompany a car ride snack.

Mix it Up!

Add to pancake batter for a yummy breakfast with an Omega 3 boost!
