Eat with Color! Try something RED this week.

The theme of National Nutrition Month this year is "Eat Right with Color" so we'll be highlighting a different color of the rainbow every week!


This week's featured color...RED!


According to the American Dietetic Association produce which is red may help to maintain a healthy heart, vision, immunity and possibly reduce the risk of cancer.


Fruits to try this week:
Cherries, cranberries, pomegranate, red/pink grapefruit and red grapes


Veggies to try this week:
Beets, red onions, red peppers, red potatoes, rhubarb and tomatoes


We challenge you to eat one of the red foods above EACH day this week!


Here are two RED dishes I have made so far this week!
