Test Cooks

Each month we have some wonderful volunteers who “test” out the menu prior to publication. They do an amazing job of helping to eliminate confusion and mistakes. They may not catch everything but they sure do catch A LOT! Here is a little bit about this month’s test cooks:

• Joslyn Hibma - I am a former Spanish teacher who is now a busy homeschooling mom and wife of a very busy farmer.  We have two celiacs in our family, so label reading is a part of life.  As we have both celiacs, and non-celiacs in our family it was a challenge in the beginning to create meals that would be pleasing for all and not taste like “sawdust”! I have been preparing freezer meals for the past 13 years, and this is what helps keep our home running smoothly and organized.
