Students at Grantswood Community School just outside of Birmingham are all abuzz about what they’re learning. Teacher Andrea Riley was thinking outside the box when she decided bee boxes were just what was needed to bring memorable agricultural lessons into here classroom. Now, she’s created a crew of itty bitty beekeepers.
Students learn from teachers, but who do teachers learn from? For this event, teachers learned directly from farmers — Alabama catfish farmers, in fact. Travel along with this group of family and consumer sciences teachers as they learn why U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish is the best option as well as various ways to prepare the healthy, yummy fish.
Friday brought snow to half of Alabama, but believer it not, you can still find tasty seasonal produce in the dead of winter. Aisling Walding of Sweet Grown Alabama explains what those things are and reminds us to visit www.SweetGrownAlabama.org to find local farmers near us!
As you’d expect from any Southern cook, Stacey Little has numerous biscuit recipes on his website. Here, the SouthernBite.com recipe developer shares his rendition of Cathead Biscuits, so named because they puff up to be as big as a cat’s head! They’re the perfect pairing for a hearty soup and are made even more scrumptious for breakfast when smothered in gravy. And you can find plenty of recipes for those, too, at SouthernBite.com.
