About the Newsletter

To celebrate National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month you'll want to read our featured article, by Sabina Malik, assistant professor and extension specialist in community health and food systems. This month we also celebrate National Dairy month with ways to get calcium even if you don't drink milk or eat dairy and National Egg month with a healthy and vegetable filled frittata. Don't forget to visit SNAP-Ed Nevada for more information on eating healthy, being active and shopping smart.
