Food Services
Our Food Services Department is hustling and bustling. November and December brings the fan favorite holiday meals to our students and staff. The Thanksgiving holiday meal had rave reviews from all that dined. Here's a shout out to Kelly, Stacy, Bruce, Carolyn, Kara, Elizabeth, Christy, Shannon, Joann, Robin, Kristina, Toni, Larry and Tommy! These individuals are hardworking in the Food Service Department. Stop by any of the cafeterias in our buildings for a meal and while you are there give our staff the thumbs up for their hardwork and great food! #goodeats
Grinch Lemon Cheesecake Cookies
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
**To make the Grinch cookies add green food coloring to the wet mixture. Add a heart candy to the dough before baking. I sprinkle powdered sugar over the cooled cookies.
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
8-ounce package cream cheese, room temperature1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Drop tablespoonfuls of batter onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 2-inches apart. Use a small ice cream scoop for uniform cookies (and to make it easy).

Don’t forget to be charitable to yourself
For some, the holiday season can be anything but happy. Don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Reach out to friends, co-workers, or family. If you can’t do that, there is the Employee Assistance Program. This is available for all personnel. The EAP can be reached by calling 800.252.4555 or visit www.EducatorsEAP.com
Happy Holidays to Everyone!
