One thing that helped me stretch my SNAP benefits wasHearty Beef & Lentil Stew This hearty beef and lentil stew is a great way to turn simple ingredients—many commonly found at food banks or in pantry staples—into a warm, nourishing meal. Lentils help stretch the beef while adding protein, fiber, and flavor, making the dish filling and budget-friendly. With cabbage, carrots, and mushrooms simmered together in a savory broth, this stew is a reminder that good food doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. It’s the kind of meal that brings comfort to the table and shows how sharing simple recipes can help neighbors learn, cook, and support one another. #SNAPStretchStories#FoodRadarCommunity#FoodSecurity#BudgetLiving #food #virginiafoodbank #HealthyEating #HealthyFood #ESVA

#HiddenGems - Snooks Shaved Ice & Soft Serve 🍦 is located in the, North Mall Plaza, in #Martinsburg, #WestVirginia! Staff are super friendly here and it’s veteran own!

It’s most definitely clean on the inside, there’s nothing like the sweet fresh smell of a ice cream 🍨 parlor! If you haven’t already, this is a place to add to your list of places to visit and try! . . 📸 #OutsideAJTheTraveler ✈️ #Food #Foodie #IceCreamLovers

📍Pittsburgh, Pa - #HiddenGems The Pittsburgh Pretzels 🥨 Shop is more than just a ordinary pretzel 🥨 shop, did you know that they sell more than just pretzels! 🥨 I know right, me neither! 🤦🏾‍♂️ When I first walked inside this locally famous spot, immediately I was surprised by the display! I have heard so much about this place and thier pretzels 🥨 but no one mentioned to me that they sell other pastries as well! 🧁 Another thing that people didn’t mention to me, (at the time of my visit), is that they only accept cash! So I was torn! 🥺 I came there to try the pretzels 🥨 that I heard so much about, but the danishes and other things looked so good I wanted to try them too! I arrived within minutes of them closing, so I had to hurry up and find a atm or somewhere where I could find cash quickly! With the clock ⏰ ticking, I remembered that I had a few bucks in my car parked across the busy street, and a little bit of change to be able to purchase something before they closed! So I made it back in time and I got what I came there for, the pretzels! 🥨 Trying the first one I could understand why people brag about them, even though it’s was closing time, the pretzels 🥨 were still very fresh! The only problem that I had is one of the pretzels 🥨 taste like an everything pretzel 🥨 which means it was probably too close to some everything bagels 🥯 Either, I would definitely try them again, but now I know & now you know, go there early & bring some cash! 💵 Thanks for reading my article! Please don’t forget to follow me, like, & share this with your friends and family! Until next time! ✍🏾 #OutsideAJTheTraveler ✈️ #Food #Foodie #LocalBusiness #LocalNews

Chilaquiles with Roasted Tomatillo Salsa This Mexican dish is a great way to use up any stale tortillas and salsa. For her recipe, Marcela Valladolid whips up her own salsa verde with roasted tomatillos, serrano chiles and cilantro. "If you have some leftover from your chilaquiles, you can use it for dipping tortilla chips, to put over some grilled fish, for a little taco with some carne asada, whatever you want," she says#food

Buddy’s Pizza says goodbye to West Michigan

Losing Buddy’s Pizza in Grand Rapids feels like the end of an era for local pizza lovers. After the Portage and Walker closures, the last Buddy’s on 28th Street is shutting its doors for good this January. For many of us, nothing compares to grabbing a hot, cheesy Detroit-style slice straight from the oven—frozen just isn’t the same. Now, if you’re craving that crispy, cheesy edge, you’ll have to make the drive to Metro Detroit. What’s your favorite Buddy’s memory, and where will you go for your pizza fix now? #Food #GrandRapids #DetroitStylePizza
