During February the Home Baking Association encourages families to spend time together in the kitchen! Everyone benefits when families bake together – children, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles as they bake! A weekly theme features book & bake lessons, recipes, activities, and videos at HomeBaking.org!
Educators can encourage baking at home. Teach correct measuring skills while preparing a mix that youth take home and bake with their family. Ask youth to share a recipes or tradition from their family with your class or group.
Resources are provided to help families with age appropriate tasks and tips for baking together. Let’s get started and celebrate Bake for Family Fun Month!

Don't forget the Super Bowl this weekend!
Ok, my game face is on! This year BAKE your Super Bowl team support. Both teams have famed local wheat flour and cornmeal mills fueling their success. If you’re not sure what a “flour or cornmeal mill” is, check it out at North American Millers Association. You’re going to fall in love with milling’s local, historic food connections!
If you’re not sure why flour and cornmeal are important to athletes, check out the basics on eating for duration competitions like the Super Bowl, and for personal fitness.
If all you want to do is bake to dominate with a Denver wheat flour, check out Ardent Mills, headquartered in Denver, CO. They mill Ultragrain® wheat flours, available in most supermarkets in both all-purpose and whole white wheat flours. I’m liking their Mediterranean Olive Bread, a no-knead batter bread, baked in a casserole! It’s perfect for a “great spread” or a dip-holding bread bowl! There are a lot more “options” to run with too, check them out here!
Panther fans should totally bake their best with Tendabake® flour and Southern Biscuit® flour and cornmeal mixes from Renwood Mills. This mill’s North Carolina connections go back eighty years. There’s no better Bowl victory food then a Confetti Cornbread or Cheddar Chive Biscuits.
Crockpot your favorite chili OR soup… and it’s game on!

What Is a Biscuit?
"A small tender, flaky quick bread, usually leavened with baking powder or using self-rising flour and is usually a savory (not sweet) hot bread served with meals."
