Meal in 30 to continue through April

Holmes added, “Nutrition is important to everyone and this is quick, healthy, fresh… and it’s engagement with your family.”

Neepawa Eats Healthy committee member Mary Ann Marquez-Hunsdad concurred, stating, “It’s a win-win and it’s the right thing to do for the community. This idea actually came from our first meeting. Now, two years later, it’s brought to life.”

This month’s recipe, chicken quesadillas, is a great first recipe according to Naughton-Gale.

“It’s very simple. And there’s so many ways you can adjust it, if you don’t like one of the ingredients or perhaps are vegetarian or have some leftover pork you want to use instead of chicken,” Naughton-Gale explained.

Neepawa Eats Healthy anticipates Meal In 30 will gain momentum as it goes on and is hopeful that some will even suggest recipes via their social media. As well, they’d like to incorporate area cultures later on.

“Hopefully this is a good start and we can incorporate Ukrainian recipes, for example,in the future,” said Marquez-Hunsdad. “People are already picking up the ingredients for this month’s recipe and our reusable Neepawa Eats Healthy bags.”

The Meal in 30 program is currently planned to continue for the months of May and April. Feedback can be provided, along with a chance to win a free grocery pack, by following the directions on the cards.
