A Community Effort Toward Healthy Eating

As part of HEALTHY Armstrong’s commitment to a healthy community, we have developed a countywide event to promote healthy eating. The Healthy Recipe of the Week campaign focuses on helping residents understand the importance of proper food choices, nutritional content and portion control. View or Download Recipes Now »

At several grocery stores throughout the County, weekly recipes are featured in a prominent grocery display and provided to residents so they have easy access to healthy food choices.

All Healthy Armstrong Recipes are hand selected by a team of nutrition professionals. They select quality recipes that are healthy, contain simple ingredients that should be found any most any grocery store, as well as try to find recipes that have simply flavors that children and their families can both enjoy. The recipes serve a variety of purposes from appetizers, to sides, to main dishes, so that you can enjoy them with your old favorites or combined several new recipes to make a completely new meal.

This event is featured at the following participating local grocery stores:

  • Foodland – Kittanning
  • Shop ‘n Save – Kittanning
  • Sprankle’s Neighborhood Market – Leechburg
  • DiMaio’s – Rural Valley
  • Shop N’ Save – North Apollo
  • Riverside- Ford City
  • Elderton Country Market- Elderton

Recipes are also available at other sites throughout the county including:

- Kittanning Public Library

- Ford City Public Library

- Armstrong YMCA

- Belmont Complex

- ACMH Café

We encourage you to visit one of these grocery stores to pick up a healty recipe or two. Making the right food choices is the first step to improving your health and the health of your family.

Healthy AND Delicious!

One community member recently thanked us for the Healthy Recipe displays, stating that she has used a number of the healthy recipes from the displays in her favorite grocery store. She especially liked the cranberry pumpkin muffins. “I made lots of cranberry pumpkin muffins around the Holidays. My friends and family loved them!”

“I have tested some of the healthy recipes on my husband and he likes them. One of our favorites is the turkey salad with orange vinaigrette.”
-Kay Owen, Project Director, HEALTHY Armstrong

“My family and I have tried the healthy recipes and we like them.”
