It’s that time of year to stock up on new calendars – and a free edition that’s become hugely popular is now available.
The 2010 Milk Calendar has been sent out with newspapers and is also available online.
Spokesperson Korey Kealey says this marks their 33rd edition.
She says the Milk Calendar was first put out by Dairy Farmers of Canada to help promote what was then a new convenience food – yogurt.
Kealey says it’s evolved over the years and now contains 27 recipes that focus on all dairy products, including milk, cream, and cheese.
She says a team of about 80 people help to whittle down the ideas by focusing on food trends and popular restaurant items.
Kealey says the major focus for the 2010 Milk Calendar was to make the recipes kid friendly.
Twelve of the recipes in the calendar are marked with a kid friendly stamp, meaning not only will kids really enjoy eating those ones, they’ll also be able to help make them.
Kealey says Dairy Farmers of Canada feels it’s important for children to know how to cook so they understand what they’re putting in their bodies.
Kealey says the Milk Calendar has found such huge success because it addresses the needs of the home cook who is looking for quick, easy, delicious, and nutritious family meals.
It’s been put out with over 40 newspapers in Ontario and the Maritimes.
