Taco Tuesday, Coming Soon!

The King of Pop(Up) is at it again! Nick Bartholomew’s Dandelion Pop-Up is partnering with Boiler Room’s Danny Flores to single out Omaha’s blossoming talent for a Taco Tuesday pop up at Dandelion! Each week, a new chef will share their take on the tasty taco. Dandelion seems to bring out the best in established chefs, and we are excited to see what it does with fresh imaginations on a classic favorite.This event begins Tuesday, June 5 in the Greater Omaha Chamber Courtyard at 13th and Howard. Beginning this Saturday, the Courtyard will host Over Easy for breakfast, so stop by on your way to the Farmer’s Market! It’s never wise to food-shop hungry, anyway!

There is Such a Thing as Free Lunch

For many families, the free lunch program at school was what made ends meet. Now with children home during the day, many families are being forced to make tough decisions between a higher grocery bill and keeping the electricity on. For many, even this isn’t an option. Thankfully, many local programs ensure that no family is without options! From Kids Cruisin Kitchen to Completely Kids, Omaha has several programs designed to keep kids fed! Recently, a $30,000 grant was issued to Omaha to ensure that programs remained available for children and families in need. Many of the programs offer not only a healthy meal, but educational services, crafts, and fun physical activities to keep children engaged!.For the A+ Program schedule, visit here for the June Schedule and here for July Schedule

Herbe Sainte is partnering with Stop Soldier Suicide to help raise money and awareness for service members suffering from PTSD, depression, and survivor’s guilt.
