Tip: Another way to connect with food includes learning about the traditions or history behind what you're eating. Whether a food is traditional or new to you, learning more about how and why it's prepared can be a valuable experience. It may help build a connection to the person that prepared it, teach about sustainability, or provide information about how it affects your health.

Recipe: Cauliflower Buffalo Bites
These Cauliflower Buffalo Bites are a healthier take on traditional buffalo wings. They are crisp, spicy, and perfect for snacking while watching the game. Loaded with vitamins and low in calories, they offer a guilt-free indulgence during March Madness.

Ingredients:
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup water
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup hot sauce
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 450 °F (230 °C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, water, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to make the batter.
3. Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, and place them on the baking sheet.
4. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip the florets and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, mix hot sauce with melted butter.
6. Remove cauliflower from the oven and toss with the hot sauce mixture.
7. Return to the oven for another 10 minutes until crispy and browned.

Why It's Healthy: Cauliflower is a low-calorie, nutrient-dense vegetable that offers fiber and antioxidant benefits. This recipe reduces the need for deep frying, significantly lowering the fat content compared to traditional wings.

The fitness center hours for Friday, March 7 are 8am - 3pm.

Recipe: Chicken Salad on Apple Slices

Ingredients
Cooked Chicken Breast: Lean protein source, shredded or diced. You can use a rotisserie chicken.
Celery: Adds crisp texture and a subtle flavor.
Mayonnaise: Creamy binding agent that balances flavors; can substitute with Greek yogurt.
Chicken Broth: Adds moisture without needed more mayonnaise, keeping it light.
Dried Cranberries: For tart sweetness and a burst of flavor
Red Onion: Provides a contrast to the dish's sweet and savory elements.
Sweet Red Apples: A sweet crunchy base, complementing the chicken salad's flavors.

How to Make It
It's surprisingly easy and can be prepared in advance, making it perfect for busy weekdays.

1. Prepare the Chicken Salad: In a medium bowl combine the chicken with celery, mayonnaise, chicken broth, cranberries and red onion, and stir until combined. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
2. Slice the Apples: When ready to eat, slice the apples into 1/4 inch thick slices, then remove the seeds. (I used a piping tip). It�¢??s best to eat right away so they don�¢??t turn brown, but if you are planning to eat later, you can toss the apple slices in a little lemon juice.
3. Assemble: Spoon a generous amount of chicken salad onto each apple slice and enjoy!

Here are some tips for connecting with food:
When purchasing food from a store, use a grocery list and pay attention to sales. When food is less processed, it's often more affordable.

A nutrition education and information campaign sponsored annually by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, National Nutrition Month, held annually in March, focuses attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits.

National Nutrition Month started in 1973 as National Nutrition Week, and it became a month-long observance in 1980 in response to growing interest in nutrition.

This year's theme is "Food Connects Us." Food is a connecting factor for many of us. Food connects us to our cultures, our families and our friends. Sharing a meal is an opportunity to learn about its preparation, who made it and where the ingredients were sourced. Whatâ??s more, health, memories, traditions, seasons and access can all impact our relationship with food.

This National Nutrition Month, learn more about these connections and how the foods you eat impact your health throughout life.
Watch for a daily and tip and recipe!
