Hi Everyone!
Staying indoors and cooking on a cold or rainy day can be an antidote to bad weather!
Check out these quick & easy recipes for some treats from your own table. Many recipes include a Spanish version.
While you're indoors, try the food budget calculator under our "Food Tip" from Iowa State University Extension. You might also download some of our handwashing activities and posters under "Food Safety." Handwashing is one powerful defense again this year's bad flu season.
Cook It Quick's Goal
Our goal is to make you "hungry for healthy food" by offering tips and delicious, quick-to-prepare, inexpensive recipes.
Preparing these recipes and using the tips will help you increase consumption of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products. At the same time, you will reduce sodium, solid fats, and calories. Food safety tips are included.
