Extension Nutrition Educator Highlighting Cool Season Vegetables, Food Storage Safety

It won't be long and those outdoor gatherings will be happening in our neighborhoods with regularity.

 

That means cooking out and food likely available in abundance. Caitlin Mellendor is the Nutrition Educator for the University of Illinois Extension in DeWitt, Macon and Piatt Counties. She indicates when you have wrapped up those meals, you want to swiftly get any leftovers to the refrigerator if you plan to keep them for later.

 

 

Mellendorf also indicates it is a good idea to scrape off that grill once you are done cooking. 

 

 

As we start to see the cold season vegetables ready to harvest, Mellendorf says there are a lot of good foods to implement in our spring gatherings.

 

 

Mellendorf indicates the revamped Extension food website has an abundance of great resources. It's extension.illinois.edu/foods.
