We gave out a lot of huge head of cabbage this week. Did you know with a little prep you can freeze cabbage for later recipes? Below the freezing instructions check out a great coleslaw recipe that's perfect for summer.

To freeze cabbage for later use in cooked dishes, core and shred or wedge the cabbage. Blanch it in boiling water for 1.5 to 3 minutes, immediately plunge it into ice water, and drain. Flash-freeze on a baking sheet before transferring to airtight freezer bags.

This quick and simple coleslaw is made with freshly shredded cabbage and carrots and is tossed in a creamy homemade dressing.

Severe weather 🌧️🌧️🌧️ can impact every part of our state, and the staff at DCFP are committed to being prepared before emergencies happen.

When Tropical Storm Chantal affected our community last year, preparation and training helped staff respond with care, coordination, and focus. Participating in trainings like this helps us continue strengthening the skills, teamwork, and readiness needed to serve our neighbors when the next storm comes.
