Ellie Wilson, MS, RDN  Senior Nutritionist   Delectable, decadent, and delightful – dairy, in its many forms, delivers all that and more. Packed with protein, full of flavor and nutrients, familiar and affordable, wholesome dairy brings richness to so many foods. Dairy is one of our unique “natural resources”. We use milk, yogurt, butter, and cheese to bake, batch, sip and savor our way through delicious and nutritious meals and snacks. Welcome to Dairy Month, an annual national celebration of all that dairy brings us.   There would be no dairy without dairy farming, which encompasses time- honored heritage and forward-thinking scholarship – this industry keeps innovating, and is full of hard working, passionate people that ensure animals have the best care, and milk is the highest quality. About 97% of dairy farms are family-owned, generation after generation that have moved the industry forward and treat animals, land and the future with reverence and respect. Dairy also delivers crucial nutrients – milk, yogurt and cheese contribute 51% of calcium and 58% of Vitamin D for just 10% of the calories in the overall American diet.   Follow the blog this month and learn more about how fresh, nourishing dairy foods make their way from farm to your table. We will be sharing our adventures on a cow-to-cup tour we took in New York State to explore the world of Greek yogurt with our friends at Chobani. Meet a local dairy family, the devoted haulers that bring milk from farm to plant, and the team that has helped grow a small company to one of the most popular Greek yogurt producers in the United States. We will also support the Great American Milk Drive, helping to bring milk to our communities that serve our friends and families that are less food secure. Of course, we won’t forget the cheese! It is all going to taste so good, and be good for you.   We love dairy – Price Chopper and Market 32 are highlighting dairy and dairy case items all month – you will love the selection and the savings. Celebrate with us!

The hamburger, an American classic, is celebrated every year on May 28th. The hamburger has mysterious origins and started showing up on American’s dinner plates in the late 19th century. Part of what fueled the hamburger’s popularity was the Industrial Revolution, with more people working, there was an increased need for meals that could be prepared quickly. So what is it about hamburgers that draw the interest and taste buds of a nation? What used to be a simple meal of a ground beef patty stuck between two pieces of bread, has evolved into a dish that many strive to perfect. Take a look at the burger section of the menu the next time you go out to dinner. There are often so many variations that it’s often hard to choose which burger you want for dinner. It’s interesting to see how a meal that became popular over a century ago, more  out of necessity rather than flavor, still continues to captivate a nation. My perfect hamburger for instance has sautéed onions and a fried egg on top in addition to the more traditional toppings of lettuce, ketchup, and mustard. So tell us in the comments below what you will be eating in honor of National Hamburger Day!   Written by Jane Golub Director In-Store Marketing Programs May 22, 2016 NUTRISH DISH SUPER PREMIUM FOOD FOR DOGS Ask Rachael Ray and she’ll tell you that food is love – whether she’s creating recipes for her human friends or her furry friends.  And she would never make any recipe with ingredients that she wouldn’t eat herself.  That’s why every Nutrish recipe is made with simple wholesome ingredients.   Every Rachael Ray recipe is chock full of high-quality protein.   They choose lean, easily digestible proteins, which provide essential nutrients and amino acids to help support lean muscle mass and healthy organs.   Nutrish Dish Super Premium Food for Dogs provides high-quality proteins from chicken, beef and seafood to more novel proteins like bison and lamb meal.   It’s no coincidence the product is called Nutrish.  Every bag of Nutrish Dish Super Premium Food for Dogs contains simple natural ingredients like real meat and wholesome veggies plus vitamins and minerals.  There is no poultry by-product meal, artificial flavors or artificial preservatives.  It’s just wholesome, good-for-your-dog food that tastes great.  And like all Nutrish foods, it’s 100% complete and balanced nutrition for dogs.

Written by Sara Lilkas, Marketing Intern  The official start of summer may not be until next month (June 20th to be exact), but I am already in the summer spirit! What appears to be a warm and beautiful May has me already searching the for the perfect summer recipes! Now what constitutes the perfect summer recipe? Does it have to be prepared on the grill, does it have to include a certain ingredient? As with most things involving food, your own taste buds are the only authority that truly matter. For me the perfect summer meal is something that’s really simple. I love a simple meal of grilled chicken with a side of grilled vegetables, but even though simple may be my favorite it can get boring every night of the week. For me summer recipes should be light, tasty, and hopefully they do not involve turning the stove on. So in my search for the perfect summer recipe I have stumbled upon a few that I know are going to become staples in my summertime recipe collection. Since there is a much wider variety of fruit in season during the summer months, I love incorporating strawberries, peaches and the like into my cooking as much as I can. I recommend this recipe from Dole, for Grilled Peaches with Crumbled Blue Cheese. They are a great side dish and do not take long to make! I absolutely love to make kabobs on the grill. The best thing about kabobs is that they can be customized for everyone you are making dinner for. When we have our friends over we usually have a kabob making station. I will have everything prepared in different bowls, a variety of  veggies, fruits, and proteins, then everyone gets to choose what they want on their kabobs! It’s a really fun way to make sure everyone is happy with their meal! For more summer recipe inspiration check out Price Chopper’s Savory Summer Pinterest Board!
