Budget Bites is BACK, and Chef Chris is kicking things off with a comforting classic: Dolly Parton’s Cowboy Beans. 🤠

In memory of Dolly, we’re cooking up this hearty, budget-friendly recipe that makes the most of simple pantry staples.

Here’s how Chef Chris makes it:

• Brown 1 lb of ground beef with 2 chopped onions and 1 diced bell pepper.
• Stir in 2 cans of pork and beans, 2 cups ketchup, 1 tsp vinegar, ¼ cup brown sugar, 2 tsp prepared mustard, 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper.
• Transfer to a baking dish.
• Bake at 350°F for 15–20 minutes, until hot and bubbly.

A simple, satisfying meal that stretches affordable ingredients into something the whole family can enjoy.

We’re honoured to remember Dolly through food, community and a recipe worth sharing. ❤️

We need a few extra hands for Bread Monday next week to help ensure we can provide fresh, homemade bread to our client families.

Bread Mondays are a fun, casual way to volunteer, connect with others, and make something that brings comfort to the table. Every loaf baked is a small act of kindness that helps support a family in our community.

If you have some time to spare this Monday, please consider joining us and "meeting the knead"! Your helping hands can make a real difference.

Last week, we welcomed youth from the Skills2Stars Foundation Summer Skills Empowerment Program to Greener Village for a day of hands-on learning, discovery and community service. 🐝

The day brought together two very different skills: beekeeping and baking. Participants learned about the important role of bees, explored honey extraction, then headed into our Learning Kitchen with Chef Chris to make biscuits from scratch while learning about ingredients, measurements, kitchen safety and hygiene. They also spent time volunteering in our warehouse, helping package food for families in our community.

It was a wonderful reminder of what can happen when young people are given the opportunity to explore new skills, meet professionals and discover new ways to contribute.

Thank you to Skills2Stars Foundation for spending the day with us! You can read more about the day's activities here: https://www.skills2starsfoundation.ca/blog/learning-baking-beekeeping

Eating Well on a Budget: Compare the Price

When grocery shopping, don't just look at the price on the shelf. Check the unit price to see what you're really paying for.

The unit price shows the cost per 100 g, 100 mL, or another standard measurement, making it easier to compare different sizes and brands.

A larger package isn't always the better deal, and the lowest sticker price doesn't always mean the lowest cost. Comparing unit prices can help you find the best value for your budget.

It only takes a few extra seconds, but those small savings can add up over time.
