"Sneaky Snacks & Meals for Healthy Back-To-School Days" is the theme of the Sept. 9 episode of "Farm & Bay to Table," a virtual series produced by Harford County Public Library and Chef John Shields' Our Common Table, that highlights Maryland farms, fisheries and local businesses. The program will be presented via Zoom from 7 to 8 p.m.
 
Chef, author and television personality John Shields joins library CEO Mary Hastler in preparing healthy snacks and meals as students go back to school, sourced with Maryland ingredients. Joining them will be special guest Joan Norman, from One Straw Farm in White Hall.
 
The program will focus on preparing veggies galore for snacking, along with dips that kids will love. Viewers will also learn how to sneak in nutritious ingredients with recipes like homemade ranch dressing with sprinkles (yes, sprinkles!), a hummus PB&J and a versatile zucchini "crab" recipe that makes a delicious snack or meal. Participants will also learn how to use Farmer Joan's pasta and greens for a quick and easy dinner. The program concludes with EZ mini slab pies.
