Mustard Seed School Retreat

Every year the Mustard Seed School staff retreats for a couple of days before school starts. It's a great time to bond, catch up after the summer and begin planning for the coming year. We also worship together and pray for each child by name.

For the past couple of years we have stayed in Ocean Grove, NJ. This year we had less than friendly beach weather, but we had a productive few days of work and fellowship.

DAYS is the ice cream parlor near the retreat hall. You must go there if you are ever in Ocean Grove.

The retreat hall has a commercial kitchen and with the help of my co-workers, we made a lot of really good, healthy food. On Wednesday, we finished off almost all of the leftovers. It is such a joy to work with such passionate, dedicated teachers and I was happy to be able to contribute to the retreat in this way.

To follow are the recipes. They are for a large group and can be scaled down as needed. Most of the recipes are adapted from Whole Foods Market or Moosewood cookbooks.
