The USDA unveiled a new visual to help families understand how to eat healthier. The new image gives guidance about what foods to increase (fruits and vegetables), which to reduce, and how to balance your calories at each meal, and throughout the day. Take a look at the new FOOD PLATE here.

Build A Cookbook!
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) aims to improve the likelihood that persons eligible for SNAP will make healthy food choices within a limited budget and choose physically active lifestyles consistent with the current Dietary Guidelines for Americans and MyPlate. SNAP-Ed's recipe finder allows users to create their own personalized cookbook, with the ability to limit the search in various ways (eg., American Indian, vegetarian, stovetop/hotplate, wok) and the ability to put a price threshold on recipes.
