Join us as we discuss some helpful “secrets” for creating tasty, flavorful dishes using herbs, spices, fruits, vegetables, and other ingredients. Salt is commonly used to enhance the flavor in foods; however, reducing sodium intake can decrease the risk of chronic disease. Check out the recipe of the month for Elote (Mexican Seasoned Corn).
Learning how to save and store seeds from fruits and vegetables can be very useful in starting or continuing to grow a flourishing produce garden.

Welcome back to the Better Living for Texans Podcast! March is National Nutrition Month, and this year’s theme is “Beyond the Table”. There is a lot more that goes into food than just eating it. Many of us get food from the grocery store. But how did it get there? On today’s episode we spend some time talking about where to learn about where our food comes from. Episode highlights include farmers’ markets or community gardens, starting your garden, a favorite vegetable (OKRA!), and a delicious gumbo!
