Midwest Dairy Council Holiday Tips (& Giveaway Ends 1/6)

Submitted by on December 22, 2011 – 12:10 PM280 Comments

The Midwest Dairy Council has some great tips to get ready for the holiday season!

Family Togetherness

For Midwestern dairy farm moms, mealtime provides a cherished opportunity to create family memories. They have a couple tips on how to maximize family time during this busy season:

  • We use holiday mealtime to have real conversations as a family. No cell phones are allowed! Sit down at the table (not in front of the tv), share a tasty meal and talk about your day or the things you are most thankful for. — Susan Anglin, Anglin Dairy
  • To squeeze in extra family bonding during busy days, I encourage my kids to get in the kitchen and help out. Don’t worry about making a mess; it’s creating traditions and memories that are most important. — Shannon Squibb, Topwinds Dairy

Entertaining Made Easy

Entertaining is often a major component of the holidays for all families. To help keep your guests happy (and full!), Midwest dairy farm moms share tips and favorite recipes:

  • Cheese trays make a tasty and nutritious appetizer. To add seasonal flair, buy cheese in block form and use holiday cookie cutters to create festive shapes; save the scraps for casseroles. — Barb Liebenstein, Wolf Creek Dairy
  • My holiday guests always seem to be craving something pumpkin flavored. I have a few go-to recipes that are fresh and unexpected: Pumpkin Cheesecake Shake, Pumpkin Pancakes, and my personal favorite, Pumpkin Pie Squares. — Susan Anglin, Anglin Dairy

To get one of my readers in the holiday spirit Midwest Dairy Council has generously a holiday prize pack to make your own Pumpkin Pie Squares (or really anything else for that manner!)  The dish is big and awesome and I can’t wait to try out making the Pumpkin Pie Squares!

WIN IT:  (1) US winner will receive a festive baking dish (from Crate & Barrel, $30 value); hot pad; and Pumpkin Pie Squares recipe card (which should work perfectly in the baking dish).
