Protein-Rich Recipes for Winter
The colder months of the year are a great time to enjoy warm, stick-to-the-ribs meals.
Especially when they include proteins that are essential for our health as we age.
Protein-rich foods will help keep us healthy and mobile, which in turn will help keep us independent for as long as possible. Below are a couple of great recipes you can enjoy with your Meat & Protein Deluxe Emergency Survival Food Kit.
