Week 5 of 'Scent'sational Summer Challenge!

We are nearing the end of this Summer challenge but there is still time to earn points and get healthier! Remember to turn in your weekly point tracking sheets by either faxing to (801) 399-7185 or by email.

Read the Week 5 newsletter HERE.

This week's focus is to move more,  swap ground chicken or turkey in place of ground beef, and to try a "new-to-you" whole grain or seed. 

Winco's bulk section is a great place to buy different grains and seeds because you can purchase the exact amount called for in a recipe, rather than buying a big bag and discovering you don't like it.

What are your favorite grains and seeds? Let us know in the comments!

Tomorrow, Wednesday June 25, is this month's Eat Earn & Learn!
