From Our Week


Household Tip of the Week
Before putting away groceries, wash and prep fruits and vegetables. Store chopped vegetables and washed fruit in clear containers so healthy snacks are ready whenever your family needs them. A little preparation at the beginning of the week makes healthy choices much easier.
