Today at the Warehouse, we demonstrated how to make a simple, affordable beef soup perfect for colder weather. This recipe highlighted practical ways individuals and families can prepare nutritious meals at home on a budget. It’s a flexible and an easy meal to make. Thank you to everyone who joined us despite the cold. If you’re not familiar with the Warehouse, be sure to visit us on the third Tuesday of each month!

Yesterday we had an incredible evening in McCrory working with a group of Girl Scouts as they worked toward earning their next snack badge! We created four different snacks together while exploring healthy choices, food safety, and the importance of trying new foods. It was a great opportunity to teach, learn, and have fun as a group. The best part was seeing everyone taste, try, and enjoy something new!!

We had such an amazing day today at the Warehouse! This month’s recipe was a Tuscan Potato Skillet, and it filled the whole Civic Center with the most delicious smells. It ended up being a huge hit! We learned how to cut potatoes into wedges and spent some time diving into the recipe and all the great nutrition highlights that come with it. It was a fun and flavorful day, and I already can’t wait for next month. Until then, we’ll see you soon! The Warehouse is held at the Civic Center every month the third Tuesday!
