Operation Food Search invested $10 million to renovate its headquarters in Overland to better distribute fresh meat and produce, and frozen food, last year. Now that its facility updates are done, the organization can continue its mission to feed those who have fewer means to obtain fresh and nutritious food. President and CEO Kristen Wild shares how the upgrades and additions will directly impact the region's food pantries and reach individuals in 25 counties in Missouri and Illinois.

With 4th of July right around the corner, it doesn't hurt to have a refresher course on safety tips when it comes to fireworks. Jill Devine enjoys fireworks from afar, but a firework incident from her childhood has left her less than confident when it comes to handling fireworks. Rob Cima is the VP of Missouri Pyrotechnics Association (MOpyro), a father of three and a huge proponent of fireworks safety. In addition to providing safety tips for adults, children and pets in this week's episode, Rob also discussed an event coming up in September, Sky Wars! It's the nation's largest fireworks competition to feature top pyrotechnicians: Sky Wars—from the creators of the original Pyromania—will hold its 16th annual invitational fireworks championship on Saturday, Sept. 25. Gates open at 2 p.m., and the fireworks show begins at 7:30 p.m. The event is in partnership with the developers of Innsbrook and will be held at The Village of Innsbrook Fireworks Field located at 13604 State Highway M in Wright City, MO. The more than two-hour long fireworks championship will feature invitation-only pyrotechnicians who are among the nation's top fireworks choreographers. Up to 10 highly skilled teams will create award-winning pyromusicals—or “concerts in the sky”—which combine the artistry of music and pyrotechnics. Sky Wars will feature The Fireball Dudes, who hold a world record for their signature gasoline fireballs. A wide variety of food and beverages will be available for purchase. Sky Wars' nonprofit partners include Concerned Citizens for Animal Care of Warren County and its “Raise the Woof” campaign plus a canned food drive at the show to benefit Operation Food Search and AGAPE. Tickets range from $30 to $40 per person for general admission and $145 to $160 for an all-inclusive VIP ticket. Children five and under are free. To purchase tickets or for further information, call (314) 730-0793 or visit Sky Wars website. Websites:  www.skywarsevent.com and https://www.celebratesafely.org/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/skywarsevent Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/skywarsevent/ Jill would like to acknowledge and recognize the hard work moms put in on the daily. It can be a thankless job at times, and Jill wants these moms to know their worth, so she created the Supermom Shoutout, brought to you by Addy's Way. Each recipient will receive a custom designed Supermom t-shirt from Addy's Way, in addition to the Shoutout. This week's Supermom Shoutout goes to Sue of Wentzville, MO. Her daughter, Cassie, nominated her and said: My mom is amazing! She doesn't have little kids or a career anymore, but she when she had a career, she was also taking care of 3 kids and she didn't skip a beat. She babysat most of the neighborhood kids until they all started kindergarten. She is the person who taught me to be the wife and mother I have always wanted to be. She is my best friend. Plus, she's been amazing this past year with my father's illness, which unfortunately, led to him passing away recently. They were married for 50 years. Sue - YOU are seen and YOU are supported! To nominate a Supermom (or you can nominate yourself) email hello@jilldevine.com. Submit the name of the Supermom, where they're from, and a brief description as to why Jill should shout out this particular Supermom.

This year it’s more important than ever to shop locally this holiday season. This week we’re chatting with Maeghan Moeller, one of the owners of Lusso, a boutique in Clayton that’s been around for 20 years. Her message to shoppers is that every dollar counts when it comes to owning a small business. And to help encourage shopping small this year, Lusso has teamed up with #314Together, The Women’s Creative, Joya, and the Experience Booklet to launch “Keep it Local,” an online coupon booklet filled with discounts for dozens of local businesses. Megan Rohall of the Women’s Creative also joined us on this episode to talk about the inspiration for the booklet and how something as little as a shoutout on social media can go a long way in ensuring our St. Louis businesses survive the pandemic. Get your own “Keep it Local” card here [https://www.thenewnormalstl.com/keepitlocal/p/keep-it-local-sponsorship-w7rwt], and even better, 100% of the profits go to Operation Food Search.

At Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Parish food pantry in Ferguson, volunteers have seen a 25% client increase in recent months, with Blessed Teresa serving about 1,300 people in October alone. That’s in keeping with what food banks and other partners are observing throughout the area, according to Operation Food Search’s director of strategic services, Lucinda Perry. She’s seen about a 40% increase in food insecurity amid COVID-19 upheaval. The St. Louis community is stepping up to help, including local farms such as EarthDance.

Throughout Season 3, Jill Devine has talked to several guests about food: the good, the bad, and the ugly. One consistent theme, Jill has concerns about her oldest daughter, Lu, and her pickiness with food. Jill took to her social media accounts to ask for help with Lu. Carmen Berry showed up in Jill’s inbox with an amazing email. Here are some highlights: My name is Carmen and I saw your request for recipes to get kids involved in the kitchen! I am a registered dietitian, a mom to an 8-month old (and an aunt to a 2 and 4-year-old), and I work at Operation Food Search! In my role at work, I am responsible for leading the nutrition education team to facilitate and build skills and knowledge that lead to sustained healthy eating habits in the community through hands-on cooking classes, interactive grocery store tours, cooking demonstrations, nutrition presentations, and other nutrition education outreach events. Just this past year, we launched our own internal hands-on kids cooking course called Operation CHEF, Culinary Habits to Empower Families. During the 6-week course, students ages 8-12 prepare delicious recipes and learn new cooking techniques. I agree with many of your podcast guests that getting kids in the kitchen is really beneficial to open their mind to trying something new. Something else that you can try is bring your kid along to the grocery store! There are some studies that show when a kid is included in the planning of the meal and the grocery shopping, it increases the likelihood that they try the food item. But it is important to be patient and keep trying! If your kids are helping shop and cook and still refuse the food, don’t get discouraged! Never force the issue because that usually backfires. Simply continue to make fruits and veggies a part of every meal and snack and offer them in a variety of ways. Be a good role model and eat the veggies offered at each meal. Eventually your picky eater will develop a taste for a few favorites. My last resort I always suggest is what I call “stealth nutrition” which is sneaking in veggies into various recipes. I say last resort because this shouldn’t be your only strategy. It is important for picky eaters to see and experience a variety of veggies in a variety of ways. Stealth Nutrition Ideas: - You can add grated veggies to a lot of foods – fold into meatballs or meatloaf, add to a casserole, soup, or fried rice. It’s hard to pick out grated veggies since they are so small. - Making tomato sauce? Add in shredded or diced veggies. Blend up in a blender to completely hide it if you’d like. Carrots add some natural sweetness to tomato sauce. - Add fresh fruit to pancakes or muffin batters. A fun one is adding in grated carrots and apples to pancakes for a carrot cake like breakfast treat! Or make colored pancakes by adding in mashed up fruit like blueberries or raspberries to the batter. - Fold pureed butternut squash or sweet potatoes into mac and cheese. The pureed orange veggies just disappear in the cheese sauce! - Blend spinach into smoothies! I like to make a green smoothie with spinach, pineapple, banana and grapes. But if you’d like to hide it, blend it up with mixed berries. The purple hides it completely. A recipe I have attached to this email is for turkey tacos – a tried and true recipe from Cooking Matters! Your daughter can grate the carrot, dump in the cans of beans and tomatoes, measure the spices, shred the cheese, and chop the lettuce and tomato with a plastic knife! Jill was blown away by the email and invited Carmen on the podcast. They discussed the email in detail, as well as other ways to talk to Lu about food. The number one take away all parents should keep in mind – BE PATIENT AND BE A GOOD ROLE MODEL! Lastly, because of the pandemic, every other Wednesday, Operation Food Search hosts a Facebook Live – called Cooking with Carmen! If you can’t watch it live, it’s recorded, and you will always have access online.
