The Dietitian says:
Each cup of chili contains at least one serving of veggies, 2 servings for the vegetarian version. Each 1/2 cup of salsa counts as a veggie serving, too! Each 1/4 cup of shredded cheese provides a 200 gram calcium boost for your bones.
And The Winner Is ...
Congratulations to Shelly in the Hanover Co-op Produce Department for her award-winning Guacamole Cilantro Lime Cheeseburger! When you work for a place like the Co-op, it’s not always easy to impress your coworkers with your cooking skills. Let’s face it, their cooking skills are usually going to be none-too-shabby either. But Shelly impressed everyone! The heated Hanover Co-op Burger Cookoff Competition was part of a recent employee appreciation event, where our employee expertise was put to the test for the honor of best-burger bragging rights. The Co-op is famous for employing people who know a lot about food, and know how to dress up even a basic burger. “Melted Monterey Jack Cheese lends an added zing to these spiced up hamburgers,” Shelly says. “A dollop of fresh guacamole sends it over the top!” Thanks to Shelly for sharing her recipe, and thanks to all our employees who participated in the best-burger competition.
