Foodness Gracious - Week 60

Foodness Fun - Food Trivia!

Normally, we include our Foodness Fun section at the bottom of the newsletter. Today, I’m bringing it to the top. Many of you may not realize we even have this section!

Check for it at the bottom of our newsletter each week.

We will continue to offer food debates and polls, but it’s 2025 and we wanted to shake things up.

Today, we have a food trivia question for all of our Foodness Followers.

Which food was rationed during World War II
and became more popular after the war?

Check back next week for the answer and a little food knowledge!

Recipes

At Foodness Gracious, we believe part of being a home chef is exploration.

This could mean trying something you’ve never liked in the past (for example, my daughter and salmon). It could mean trying something you’ve literally never tried before (for example, last week’s newsletter talked about bulgur wheat).

Today, the challenge is mixing ingredients that at first glance seem like they should never go together. You’re going to have to trust that these ingredients somehow blend wonderfully to make a delicious and nutritious snack for your whole family.

Try our Chocolate Chip Cookies with Prune Puree. Yes, I said chocolate chip cookies mixed with prunes. I know. I thought it too.

Remember just a couple paragraphs above you were nodding along in our home chef exploration. Well, this is one of those times you jump in and give it a go!

An answer to every “What’s for dinner?” question: That’s Tovala.
