TERRE HAUTE —
Taste of Home magazine has honored a Riverton Parke Jr.-Sr. High School Foods Services employee for her recipe.
Malena Coleman, who has worked in the school cafeteria for 11 years, entered a contest last year in which schools across the country were asked to send in recipes to be published in a cookbook, “Taste of Home, A+ Recipes From Schools Across America.”
More than 14,000 recipes from all over the country were entered in the contest, but only 243 were chosen. Coleman entered several recipes, and one — “Peaches and Cream Jelly Roll” — was selected as a winner.
“I’m so excited to represent my school in something I love to do,” says Coleman, who is married, has two children, and lives in Rockville; she also recently became a grandmother.
The recipe book featuring Coleman’s recipe and her recognition, is now available for purchase at www.tasteofhome.com, and is sold locally through “Books Are Fun.”

TRIED ’N’ TRUE: Whip up a rhubarb surprise cake
This recipe comes from Ruth Baker. She sent a lot of rhubarb recipes. I have been putting them in the paper for the last three years. I’ve almost used most of them. Some I have used more than others. Mary Hunter also had this recipe. I have made this a lot. Gene really likes this. I use sweetener and yellow or white sugar-free cake mix. The only sugar I put in this recipe is in the marshmallows. Adjust for this. Our grandkids also enjoy this cake. Thanks to Ruth and Mary.

Cherries are one of my favorite fruits. This recipe, from Mary Hunter, is one I had never made before. I’ve always made a crust for the top of cherry pie, and this has a streusel topping.
