DIETITIANS CORNER

Finally, I think we have made it through winter!!  Hopefully we will all be enjoying warmer weather soon.  Before we begin working in our gardens and enjoying summertime activities many of us think of spring cleaning our homes; but often forget the insides of our refrigerators!! 

As the warmer weather approaches we need to remember to keep our refrigeration up to par also.  Take time to clean your refrigerator.  Throw out foods which are expired, or just plain old!  Wash and sanitize all shelves and compartments.

Finally you might want to check the temperature of your refrigerator to assure it is cooling foods properly.  Set the thermometer in the center on the middle shelf not on the door for the most accurate reading.  The thermometer should read between 34-40 degrees to hold foods at the proper temperature.

Hope everyone has a great spring and enjoy the warmer weather.
