Have you taken the Dairy 3 For Me Pledge?

I took the pledge not just because I'm a dairy 
farmer but to re-enforce my commitment to improving my health and following
 the 2015 Dietary Guideline's nutritional recommendation. I'll admit, it's probably
 the easiest pledge I can make since there is such a large variety of  dairy to choose from!


Including dairy in the recipes I prepare for my family is one of the best
 ways to keep my pledge and make sure we're all getting the needed servings of dairy.
  Fiesta Rice Skillet Dinner  will be on the menu this week.
