It’s safe to say we could all use a night off from cooking every once in a while! In fact, there could not be a better time to support local businesses by ordering takeout. However, ordering out does not need to mean compromising your commitment to healthy living.
We’ve made your dining choices that much easier by compiling a list of our favorite go-to spots around town as well as suggesting a few Registered Dietitian-approved menu items and tips. Take a look!

We may be separated, but we are not alone. By supporting local businesses, we can come together to keep our community thriving. Even if getting take-out for one of your meals is not part of your plan, consider purchasing gift cards for future use or as a gift for others. As always, let us not forget to live a healthy and happy life as we support our community!
