A Sustainable and Stress-Free Holiday Menu by Tre Stelle's Cheese4Change Champ

Call your kids to the kitchen this holiday season with easy, cheesy holiday recipes that will leave everyone inspired!

Lacia-Paige Cummings, a Canadian high school student and sustainability advocate is leading the way with her holiday menu featuring easy and sustainable appetizers and desserts for kids to lend a helping hand over the hectic holidays. 

Lacia was a winner of Tre Stelle’s Cheese4Change sustainable food youth program which received entries from hundreds of Canadian students from coast-to-coast sharing their sustainable recipes. Winning students received $500 and winning schools received $5,000!

Inspired by her big win, Lacia created a new holiday menu featuring recipes from the all-new Tre Stelle App, Bites by Tre Stelle. She hopes to empower kids to get involved in the kitchen, making choices that are good for the planet and the generations to come.
