Equipping our bodies with good, healthy food is key to feeling our best and living well each day. With a few shifts in choices and some key cooking techniques, healthier food is not only delicious, but satisfying.

IN THIS ISSUE, we're cooking a few soup favorites in a fresh, healthier mode. Nourishing for these chillier months, you'll find each of these appetizing recipes full of flavor: Too-Good-To-Be-True Potato Soup, Slow-Cooker Chicken Enchilada Soup, and Italian Escarole and White Bean Soup. Try them, you'll not only like them, you'll love them, and make them again - we have!

Happy New Year! Our wish for you is that this year is full of warm, happy times with friends and family! Enjoy the moments, both large and small, that make loving memories.

The crazy pace of the holidays is over, and now that you have a little more time on your hands, you might want to browse the list of classes below. It's always fun to learn to do something new in the new year! Call the store (248-684-1373) to register.

Just a reminder or two: Our first RED BAG SATURDAY of 2015 will be on January 31st. If you aren't a part of our Kitchen Cash Club, or are yet to earn your Red Bag, stop by and we'll tell you how to get in on the fun (and the discount days!). Red Bag Saturdays are a great day to come in and spend some of that Christmas money!
