Did you know that April 6 is Fresh Tomato Day? And April 12 is Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day. The North Carolina K-12 Culinary Institute offers a delicious and nutritious Gourmet Grilled Cheese recipe featuring fresh tomatoes, spinach and, of course, cheese.
School Nutrition managers have had the opportunity to participate in regional workshops across the state as part of the NC K-12 Culinary Institute. Workshop participants graduate as culinary specialists, prepared to teach other School Nutrition professionals at the local level. NCDPI, School Nutrition Services worked with a culinary team of chefs and registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) to design the institute with the goal of increasing the availability of appealing, nutritious meals at school. The institute was funded in part by a U.S. Department of Agriculture Professional Standards Training Grant received by NCDPI. The institute recipes and resources will assist School Nutrition professionals in providing optimal nutrition though school meals for student’s health and academic achievement.
As you celebrate Fresh Tomato Day and Grilled Cheese Day along with Earth Day and Garden Month this April, use the recipes and how-to videos from the NC K-12 Culinary Institute for inspiration in planting your garden and planning menus. Learn more at
