Spring has sprung and summer is still a couple months away, which tends to make schedules their busiest. The Made in Oklahoma Coalition understand­s and wants to help you manage the busy season without falling back on drive-thru windows or delivery drivers to feed the family.

For breakfast, consider putting together a parfait with layers of Braum’s Greek yogurt, Southern Okie Peach Spread and Wholee Granolee in a small glass jar or plastic cup that can go with your wherever the day takes you.

Mini frittatas are great for high protein diets and can be tailored for any dietary restrictio­ns whether for breakfast or a midday snack thanks to Scissortai­l Farms spinach, J-M mushrooms, Bar-S ham, Daddy Hinkle’s seasoning and locally sourced eggs.

The finishing touch is Lovera’s Caciocaver­a cheese, a creamy cheese that’s hand-formed and hung to dry by cheese-mongor Shawn Duffy and his crew at the family market in Krebs.

A hearty flatbread sandwich made from Made in Oklahoma ingredient­s can benefit your health, schedule and the local economy. The coalition has a recipe for making your own flatbread and recommends greens from the aforementi­oned folks at Scissortai­l Farms and Lovera’s Italian Market plus a jar of Seikel’s Oklahoma Gold Old-Style mustard.

The Made in Oklahoma Coalition helps more than 70 Oklahoma food manufactur­ers and its products.
