In the Latino community, we love to share delicious home-cooked meals with our family and friends.
But sometimes it’s hard to plan a meal that’s both satisfying and healthy.
Do Latinos have to sacrifice bold traditional flavors to ensure their family has a well-balanced meal?
Certainly not! With a little planning, openness, and creativity, Latinos can prepare tasty dishes the whole family will love.
Join us and our co-hosts as we tweet about healthy cooking and Latino foods at the next #SaludTues Tweetchat.
