The month of April brings forth many opportunities to explore new recipes, foods, ingredients and hobbies! Read on for inspiration to enjoying spring’s fresh foods.

New Year, new me! Isn’t that the motto? New Year’s resolutions can serve as a wonderful opportunity to self-reflect and set goals about how to live a healthier life.

It’s that wonderful time of the year again: endless events, cooking, shopping, parties, traveling and freshly baked cookies. Our schedules become so busy that sometimes exercising becomes less of a priority, plus, it’s starting to get pretty cold in the morning, which makes it harder to get out of bed for a morning session.

With October, trick-or-treat comes to mind. Trying to keep a healthy living lifestyle, treats once in a while are crucial. Do what you can to make sure that most of the treats/rewards are not counter to your health goals.

Summer is here! And so are the typical Davis heat waves. Good hydration is extremely important to help our body to function properly and to feel good.

If you’re hoping to turn over a new leaf in 2019, you’re in good company!

With the holiday season approaching, we look forward to celebration, togetherness, and indulging in festive treats.

Recipes to try this Spring

November is the official start of the holiday season and the beginning of menu planning and preparations for holiday dinner of various sizes.

Whether hosting or attending, many holiday dishes are not intuitive to prepare. Food safety is an important key quality when meal planning, preparing, and storing all items on the menu and is crucial to remember both when initially cooking dishes as well as when re-heating to create leftover dishes!
