Have you heard about our Creditable Spotlights for NCA members? Introducing new foods can oftentimes come down to presenting that food in a variety of ways, so we've created a monthly series that highlights a specific food like spinach, tofu, cabbage and oats. Each month features seven recipes to help you introduce new foods to your participants. If you're already a member, you can find these resources in your Info Hub. Not a member? Join today to gain access to the series and get an email each month with a link to the new resource!
