July's Cook It Quick newsletter focuses on no-cook recipes. Enjoy & stay cool!
P.S. Ingredient counts don't include water, salt, pepper and cooking oil.
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.
