October is a #SeafoodParty! Ellie Wilson, MS, RDN Senior Nutritionist   October is National Seafood Month, and we always bring the best seafood to our communities, sourced by a great team. This year we partnered with Pier 33 Gourmet Seafood, a world leader in Ocean Raised Atlantic Salmon®. Pier 33 Gourmet Seafood (www.Pier33Gourmet.com) is committed to bringing highly nutritious, flavorful, sustainably raised salmon to today’s busy families interested in serving healthier gourmet meals at home.  Their frozen salmon fillets are the perfect starting point for easy to prepare, restaurant quality, culinary seafood adventures. They also fit your need for something that cooks up easily and quickly – 8 minutes stove top or 4 minutes in the microwave is all it takes to enjoy the 28 grams of lean protein and over 2,000 mg of powerful Omega 3’s per serving! The Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the American Heart Association recommend seafood twice per week for better health, including heart health. Pier 33 salmon portions are a game changer for busy people seeking solutions to better eating. If you want to learn more about how seafood supports good health, check out the #SeafoodParty at http://www.seafoodnutrition.org/. Healthy Hack – Try this! Double the salmon in this Roasted Salmon with Orange sauce and Root Vegetables Fall recipe, (https://www.pricechopper.com/recipes#/11376). Serve the extra salmon later in the week over an easy bagged salad or sautéed spinach. Two servings – too easy! #SeafoodParty Family Mealtimes Matter – All Year Long Ellie Wilson, MS, RDN Senior Nutritionist   Today marks the original CASA Family Day, promoted by the Center for Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) and Price Chopper since 2001, when their research showed the positive link between more family meals and less negative behavior in at risk teens. Since then, the research keeps showing that eating together is the glue that keeps kids healthy and families strong. The Family Mealtimes Matter and National Family Meals Month campaigns technically wrap up this week, but they will keep going, in your house and in ours! You will always find great meals and snack solutions in our stores. Did you know, Americans are getting more than 50% of their calories from snacking, making snack time another great time for busy families to eat together. Snacks can help parents add more plant-based items to the foods they serve their children, promoting good habits and good health. It doesn’t have to be fancy, or at a specified time, or even served on a plate!
