If there is one thing we love (especially this time of year), it is quick, healthy recipes that our family will actually EAT! If you’re like us, you spend plenty of time searching Pinterest for that perfect recipe, only to be disappointed when you whip up yet another “Pinterest fail!”
In addition to feeding the hungry in our local community, Produce for Kids, has launched a fantastic website chalked full of easy, healthy recipes for your family. Today we are featuring their delicious Savory Stir Fry, but you will want to take a minute to browse their recipe selection by clicking here.
Our sponsors at Produce for Kids are teaming up with select grocers in Arkansas and Missouri to support local Feeding America® food banks. Whenever you buy fruit and veggies from these 10 produce sponsors, a donation will automatically be made to Feeding America!
Look for Produce for Kids signage in the store, and find healthy meal solutions and registered dietitian-approved recipes and tips. One reason we love this project is because like you, we are always on the hunt of quick, nutritious yummy meals we can share with our family (and share with you too, of course!).
Never heard of Feeding America®? It is a nationwide network of 200 food banks that leads the fight against hunger in the US, providing food to more than 46 million people through 60,000 food pantries and meal programs in communities across America–many right here in Southwest Missouri–helping our own friends and neighbors.
Feeding America® also supports programs that improve food security among the people they serve, educates the public about the problem of hunger; and advocates for legislation that protects people from going hungry.
There are several grocers that are participating in this initiative, including, Harps, Woods Supermarkets, Country Mart, Food Pyramid and Price Cutter. Click here to view the full list of participating grocers.
Now… Let’s get to the food! This Savory Stir Fry will be a hit at my house, no doubt, and by using these brands and shopping locally at select retailers, I feel good about helping feed another family!
