Food for Thought: Are vegetables more nutritious when they’re raw or cooked? Well, it depends! Some nutrients, like the vitamin C found in carrots, decrease slightly after the cooking process. Others, like the lycopene found in tomatoes, actually increase after cooking. So which should you eat? The answer: A little bit of both! Cook your veggies sometimes and eat them raw others and you’ll get the best of both worlds.

Cooking Tip of the Week: Refrigerated tortillas might crack when you roll them. To make them easier to roll, microwave each wrap for 20 seconds before adding the filling and rolling it up.
