Each March, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics highlights building healthy habits by celebrating National Nutrition Month. This year's theme, "Celebrate a World of Flavors," encourages us to step outside of the box and add some flair to our menus. The trend to add global flavors has taken off in the past few years and is now more in demand than ever before. International cuisine is popping up everywhere, even here in Iowa, and your students are craving it!
As you plan your menus and events for National Nutrition Month, don't let the thought of international foods intimidate you! Try out some of these simple "world-cuisine scene" recipes:
- Asian- Sweet Thai Chili Chicken
- Italian- Cheesy Pesto Pull Aparts
- Greek- Greek Salad Wraps
- Indian- Chicken Curry Casserole

From all of us at AEA Purchasing, bon appetit, Buon appetito, and chow down!
