February 2010
 Dinners for Life is a program specifically designed to help those with diabetes. The statistics about diabetes are staggering. 24 million children and adults live with the disease and 57 million more Americans are at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes*. Studies show that by simply making a habit of eating at home, persons at risk or who already have diabetes stand a better chance of effectively controlling or improving their health. This why we created Dinners for Life. No longer do those with diabetes have to eat separate tasteless dinners - real food, real flavor, improving health, one forkful at a time.
Over 50 of our Dream Dinners stores across the nation are already certified Dinners for Life retailers with many more preparing to offer this program in early 2010. If you know someone who needs this, please tell them about Dinners for Life and visit  DinnersforLife.com to learn more.

 Crispy Southwest Lasagna
During the month of February we are featuring Crispy Southwest Lasagna, a recipe inspired by Holly Clegg, author of the trim&TERRIFIC® cookbook series. We found her easy, everyday approach to cooking a good match for Dream Dinners. This recipe combines layers of corn tortillas, spicy beef, salsa and melted cheese creating a delicious twist to a classic family favorite.
Holly is well known in the food world having appeared on Fox & Friends, NBC Weekend Today Show and The 700 Club, as well has having her recipes featured in USA Today and People. You can learn more about Holly Clegg by visiting her web site at www.hollyclegg.com
