I WILL: Be My Own Healthy Chef

Culinary training isn’t required to call yourself a chef. You are a chef, at home! Did you know many of your favorite meals can be made at home for less money and fewer calories? That’s right, you can master your favorites and maybe find news ones by diving into the world of recipes, spices, and the colorful edible rainbow of foods. No need to overcomplicate the process either! Using the Healthy Plate guide for portions and food types, you can easily visualize ¼ protein, ½ vegetable/fruit, and ¼ starch servings for a heart-healthy meal to help you live your best life.

Start Small: Choose a new dinner recipe each week supporting a healthy plate.

Finish Remarkable: Start a recipe sharing circle with friends. Share your culinary successes with others and inspire them to become their own healthy chefs, too!
