March is National Nutrition Month, an annual campaign created by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, where everyone is invited to learn more about making informed food choices and developing healthful eating habits.
This year’s theme, “Celebrate a World of Flavors,” showcases how flavors from cultures around the world are a tasty way to nourish ourselves and appreciate our diversity.
Embracing the theme, we’re sharing some of our favorite healthy recipes by Latina chefs.
