May 19, 2009  | Salute Summer with Memorial Day Dishes
Kick off the summer season by eating “al fresco” this Memorial Day. Grill up great bites for guests, pack up a salad for a picnic on the beach, or blend a batch of refreshing frappes to enjoy on the deck. Mealtime.org offers a selection of healthful picnic pleasers perfect for any outdoor eating occasion.
We’re Listening! You told us you’d like more recipes, but fewer e-mails in your inbox. So beginning in June, CANnection will feature an updated format and become a monthly e-mail. In the meantime, you can always access hundreds of easy and nutritious food recipes at www.mealtime.org. |
