Cooking with milk is all the rage with the launch of the 2014 of the Milk Calendar.

Canadian dairy farmers from coast to coast teamed up to share their favourite recipes using 100% Canadian milk. Thirteen dishes are featured in the calendar, which will be distributed free this week in daily newspapers in Ontario and the Maritimes.

The calendar was first published in 1974, and became an instant hit with families across the country. For the first time since its inception, the calendar’s recipes are from dairy farmers themselves. The recipes are easy and deemed family-friendly.

Recipes can also be found on MilkCalendar.ca
