National Poultry Day, March 19

Chicken, turkey, duck & egg lovers rejoice! National Poultry Day is Saturday, March 19th. Whether you start your day with eggs for breakfast, grab a turkey sandwich for lunch, or go all out with a big chicken dinner, there are tons of ways to celebrate, and even try a new recipe! Here are a few classic poultry recipes to try: 

• Chicken Pot Pie

• Chicken Noodle Soup

• Chicken Enchiladas

• Super Fluffy Omelette

• Classic Fried Chicken

If you don't feel like making a big fuss, we invite you to try our favorite easy Turkey Ruben sandwich! It's turkey breast, swiss cheese, tomato slices, and sauerkraut served hot on toasted rye and smothered in tangy Russian dressing (a mixture of mayo, ketchup, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce). It's super easy and so, so yummy!

Let's Laugh Day, March 19

Take a break and get laughing! Enjoying a funny video, sharing goofy jokes, or just doing something silly for the heck of it will help you turn a frown upside down even on the gloomiest days. We've all heard that laughter is the best medicine... so give yourself a daily dose of humor and put on a smile one way or another! Here are some simple ways to put laughter back into your life on March 19th and on any other day. 

National Sleep Awareness Week, March 14 – 20

How have you been sleeping lately? It can be hard to wind down these days, but getting a great night's sleep can work wonders on your mood, health, and overall well-being. Here are some great tips on how to make your nights more restful so you can wake up energized and ready to start your day.

National Green Week, Any week until the end of April

Use National Green Week to turn a new leaf and focus on making your household more sustainable. Pick any week between now and the end of Earth Month on April 30th to celebrate! 

There are plenty of ways to go green at home. Start some seeds for a home garden or window box for fresh herbs. Make a compost bin to keep kitchen scraps out of landfills and feed growing plants. Commit to using reusable shopping bags – they're super easy to make! Or let this be the year you finally switch to energy-efficient light bulbs and cut your home energy use. We can all make a difference no matter how small to live more sustainably and help our planet!
