2014 Milwaukee Match Day Let's You Double Your Donation To Local Agencies

-
Since 2012, the Greater Milwaukee Foundation has organized and sponsored Match Day, a day to raise awareness and support for local organizations that serve Milwaukee. Today is the day for 2014, a day when you have a rare opportunity to strengthen the capacity of 20 food and shelter agencies in southeastern Wisconsin that are working hard to meet the increased demand from individuals and families. Each gift made online today will be matched and that generosity will be multiplied to benefit the participating agencies

Over the past two years, more than 8,000 individuals in our community rallied behind these organizations and more than $4.6 million was raised to strengthen their capacity to serve. Your support makes a meaningful difference in the lives of thousands in our community.


Individuals can donate to any of the 20 participating agencies, all of which are reputable and worthy ones selected by Greater Milwaukee Foundation, and their gift will be amplified, thanks to a match pool of $750,000 made by Greater Milwaukee Foundation, the Brewers Community Foundation, The Ceres Foundation, and many others. Gifts will be matched proportionately, based on the total amount raised today by each organization.

Donors are also eligible to maximize their gift through the Golden Ticket promotion, courtesy of the Brewers Community Foundation. Thanks to the Brewers Community Foundation, eight donors will be selected throughout the day and an extra $1,000 will be added to their gift to a Match Day agency. Drawings will be held during the following times: 7-8 a.m., 8-9 a.m., 10-11 a.m., 12- 1 p.m., 4-5 p.m., 5-6 p.m., 7-8 p.m. and 10-11 p.m.

Please consider joining in, this is the perfect time to step up and make a donation that supports the Greater Milwaukee area since your contribution will be doubled. So head on over to the list of the 20 participating agencies and support one or more today.

No Festivals That Cancel Aren't Taking Away Your Freedom

A photo of the street festival I organize.  We saw them all last year, and they are cropping up again this year. Festivals small and large cancelling. A common reaction, at least in social media announcement post comments is something like this: "Why don't you just have the festivals? If people want to go, they will go." Is it that simple? Just hold the festival and let however many people are comfortable going show up? Of course it's not. But people with this reaction won't even take a minute to ponder the consequences, and not from a public health standpoint but to the festival itself. They have no idea what it takes to put one on and what is involved and what you can lose if you even have only 75%, let alone 50% or less attendance. Or if they even have the capability to put it on still.  Let's take a quick, very quick, look at what goes into making this decision.

Poaching chicken (sous vide as well) is a great way to do some prep work to save time later, while adding flavor at the same time. I whipped up this recipe with tons of flavor using limited ingredients. It could be seen as a Clean Eating recipe, but it was created to be a Low Residue meal for prep day for a colonoscopy, following all the rules, which also works for people with IBD or similar digestive issues.

Nutritional Yeast Is My Fregan Recipe Secret Weapon (Mushroom Onion Casserole Recipe)

-

In my quest to east healthier and give up certain things as a flexitarian (or as I just made up: Fregan), I have developed an arsenal of special ingredients like smoke salt, onion and pepper water (from their jars); none are as useful and versatile as nutritional yeast. Sometimes mistakenly called brewer's yeast, nutritional yeast is known mostly as a popcorn topping, or to vegetarians and especially vegans as a cheese substitute, but it has so many more uses.  I used to in three ways in one recipe I just created that is both vegan and gluten-free: Mushroom Onion Casserole with Crispy Tofu.
