INTRODUCTION:
In 1987, a statewide program (“Enjoy the Great Taste of Health”) was initiated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH) to help reduce the mortality rate for major health diseases through dietary interventions. Nutrition Services, formerly a support program with the BALTIMORE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, was a vehicle for reaching consumers at the TOWSON FARMER’S MARKET. This was a unified educational effort to strengthen nutrition awareness of food choices made at home, work, other eating places and the grocery store. All recipes shared have been compiled for keepsake. This has been an enthusiastic project for the past nine years and all else remains to be history.
