Recipe: Waste Not!

With a little planning, you can serve a well-rounded meal every day of the week. That may mean being frugal at the grocery store and using the weekend to food prep, but it pays off when you have time to enjoy the meal with your family, instead of trying to do it all after a busy work day. One way to save on lean protein is to buy an entire chicken instead of more expensive chicken breasts. Roast the entire chicken and then using the diagram below, remove every morsel - no waste!

Chicken off the bone can be served over salad, with veggies, turned into chicken salad, added to omelets, etc.

Enjoy!

#teamwork

Make this year's Y Turkey Trot Charity 5k the best one yet - create or join a team! See who can recruit the most runners, come up with the zaniest costume and raise the most funds for children in Central Maryland living in poverty.

To start or join a team go to the registration site and click "Join a team" or "Create a team". It is that easy. From there the site walks you through the process. Come up with a fantastic name and invite all your friends. You do not even have to all run at the same location to be on the same team - you could have five people in Baltimore City and ten in Westminster.

If you need any help we are here - just ask!
