As National Nutrition Month Marches on….we introduce you to the USDA’s MyPlate plan healthy eating plans.
An eating plan that helps promote health and manage your weight includes a variety of healthy foods. Add an array of colors to your plate and think of it as eating the rainbow.

Adding frozen peppers, broccoli, or onions to stews and omelets gives them a quick and convenient boost of color and nutrients.
