Salsa, Sabor y Salud is an 8 week program that meets on Tuesday evenings from 5:30-7 PM starting Tuesday, January 15th. The goal of the program is to have families eat from all food groups, take small portions, be physically active, and take small steps. The program is for the whole family. Kids are welcome. ¡Bienvenidos!

Read It Before You Eat ItFood labeled “organic” isn’t necessarily healthy.  “Zero grams of trans fat” could still contain trans fat.  “Natural”?  Don’t even go there.  Bonnie Taub-Dix recently penned Read It Before You Eat It – a book to help us decode food labels and make informed, healthy choices.
