New MSU Extension recipe site makes healthy eating easier for Michiganders
Check out this new resource to learn new skills and tips and find nutritious and affordable recipes for you and your family.
Michigan State University Extension has launched a new online recipe website to help Michiganders find simple, affordable and nutritious meals.
The new website features dozens of dietitian-approved recipes, along with guides on food safety, preparation and basic cooking skills. Some recipes include step-by-step videos to help users feel more confident in the kitchen.
This free resource is part of MSU Extension’s ongoing commitment to providing research-based nutrition education and practical tools to help people eat well and live healthier lives.
“We know that access to reliable, easy-to-follow recipes can make a big difference for anyone trying to eat healthy on a budget,” said Gary Libretti, MSU Extension health and nutrition specialist and Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) coordinator. “This new online hub makes it easier than ever to plan meals and support healthier eating habits at home.”
The MSU Extension Recipes website offers:
- Meals and snacks designed to taste great while also being nutritious and budget-friendly
- Step-by-step guides on food safety, preparation and essential cooking skills
- Instructional videos for select recipes
- Nutrition facts and healthy tips included with every recipe
- Something for everyone, from busy families to single adults looking for quick, healthy meals
“Cooking at home is one of the most effective ways to improve nutrition and stretch food dollars,” Libretti said. “With this site, we’re giving people the tools they need to prepare meals that are not only healthy, but also delicious and easy to make.”
