Round Up for Howard Brown Health
|
| In honor of Pride Month, we’re rounding up at the register for Howard Brown Health. One of the nation’s largest LGBTQ+ healthcare and social service organizations, Howard Brown provides affirming and inclusive care for more than 40,000 adults and youth across Chicago. |
| When you Round Up at the Register this month, your funds directly help sustain and expand access to people in Rogers Park who seek affirming, high quality healthcare and social services such as primary medical care, mental health, and behavioral health services, HIV prevention and treatment, and more. |
| Just in this week—scallions, garlic scapes, green beans, and yellow summer squash! Sounds like it’s time to pull out your best summer salad recipes and get roasting, sautéing, and mixing!
Fun fact about alliums (the family that onions, garlic, garlic scapes, and ramps fall into): you can eat them in many forms! Garlic scapes are cut from the plant to prevent it from flowering and redirect energy towards bulb production. And green garlic is just a less mature version of the traditional garlic bulbs at the store. You can use the entire stalk as a substitute for any dish that has garlic in it…be sure to check out our pesto recipe below! |
