Did you know that 2022 is the year of the tomato?
January marks the time of new beginnings, fresh starts, and resolutions for good health. Even though it’s natural to start off the New Year thinking about all of the goals you want to set, don’t get too caught up in extreme health trends. Instead, we encourage you to focus on a well-rounded, sustainable, and healthful diet, as this makes a significant difference when it comes to preventing chronic diseases (such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer). Everyone is different, so find a strategy that feels right for you. This month, we’re sharing some tasty and nutritious recipes (featuring canned and jarred tomatoes, of course) that will fuel your body and soul for the upcoming year. Plus, keep an eye out on our social media channels for more inspiration on how to use those canned tomatoes and jarred sauces in your kitchen! This month we’re featuring easy recipes that are easy, healthy, affordable, and #SimplySatisfying
