Bonus Commodity Applesauce
|
|
Bonus Commodity Applesauce is going to be available brown box in a lot of states this year. Although great as a side on its own, you can use a lot more of it when integrating it into some of your bakery items (and improve flavor and texture at the same time)!

Bonus Commodity Cheddar Cheese
|
|
If you ask us, Bonus Commodity Cheddar Cheese is one of the best BONUS Opportunities out there this year. Not only is it highly accepted among students, it is also very versatile and an inexpensive source of protein!
We think the best Gage entree available with this bonus commodity is our Gage Santa Fe Pasta. This is a great way to utilize various commodity proteins, is easy to make, consistent, and will keep your TOTAL entree cost down to under $0.40 per serving BEFORE ADJUSTING FOR YOUR BONUS ALLOCATION! See below for this recipe and more!

Bonus Commodity Walnuts
|
|
Walnuts are usually a rare sight to see due to their high cost so be sure to take advantage! These nuts are best used as a topping to pastas or casseroles or to add flavor and texture to fresh bakery items. You can save a lot of time and effort using boxed bakery mixes over starting from scratch! Click on the image for a list of examples from Gage Foods.
