Happy National Nutrition Month! While we celebrate dietitians all year ’round, March is a dedicated month where we celebrate these nutrition professionals and spread information to the public regarding recipes, tips, and more. Dietitians play a huge role in helping others learn more about nutrition, how to cook healthful recipes, and much more, so if you know a registered dietitian, be sure to send them a big virtual hug this month for all the hard work they do!
This year’s theme for National Nutrition Month is “Personalize Your Plate”, which is all about making informed food choices and developing healthful eating and physical activity habits. The good news is that eating healthfully doesn’t have to be complicated! You don’t need a heavily involved recipe to have a great meal; you can have something nutritious on the table in under 30 minutes based on staple pantry items. That’s why we are big fans of canned tomatoes; not only are they affordable, but they are also sustainable, full of nutrition, and incredibly convenient!
