The D34 Food & Nutrition Services Department wants to serve your favorite family recipe on the D34 lunch menu this spring.

Submit a recipe for an entree or side dish (fruit, vegetable, or grain). All recipes will be reviewed by a panel of Food & Nutrition Services staff members. Finalists will be updated to meet the federal nutrition guidelines and then tested and rated by students.

The winning recipe will be featured on the school menu this spring! The winning student(s) also will be invited to help serve their recipe at lunch.

Last year, over 300 students at 5 of the District’s schools sampled the recipe finalists and selected the winning recipe. The 2023-2024 winning recipe was shared by a Lyon Family and remains a favorite menu item at both Middle Schools this year.

This year, the winning family recipe, Cholay (Chickpeas) was submitted by a Pleasant Ridge family. It will be featured in May in all District 34 school cafeterias. Over 100 students helped select our winning recipe this year.
