Did you know 4 out of the 5 top causes of death are preventable? Healthy eating habits play an important role in preventing disease, and those habits start in your kitchen!
Now more than ever, families are finding themselves in the kitchen – cooking and eating more at home. We hope this trend helps families learn new culinary skills, try new recipes that feature a well-balanced approach to eating, and enjoy three servings of dairy every day.
Dairy MAX is teaming up with physicians across Texas to share the importance of cooking and nutrition in improving their patients’ health. Our virtual webinar and culinary experience, "Outside the Office: How Nutrition and Culinary Practice in Kitchens Improve Health Outcomes," will feature local dietitian Maria-Paula Carrillo, M.S., RDN, LD, and celebrity chef Tiffany Derry.
You may not be able to join us for this event, but we'd like to offer you a #DairyAmazing cooking experience either way. Check out Tiffany's MyPlate-healthy recipes below and you, too, can enjoy a nutritious and delicious meal!
