Ten Nutrition Month-friendly recipes

March is recognized by the Dietitians of Canada as Nutrition Month. During this month, let’s unlock the potential of food by eating with nutrition in mind. Eating whole grains for your body’s proportions, according to Canada’s Food Guide can help to increase our consumption of fibre, vitamins and minerals.
