Child Tax Credit Payments: Plan Ahead Now, Pick A Peck of Peppers This Summer! MyPlate is The New Guide in Town

Child Tax Credit Payments: Plan Ahead Now
For over 36 million households with dependents age 17 and under, bank accounts will see some extra green starting in just a few weeks. The American Rescue Plan increased child tax credits from $2000 per child to up to $3600 for the tax year 2021.
Peppers come in a variety of colors, shapes, sizes and flavors ranging from sweet to spicy hot. They are a colorful addition to any meal or they can be enjoyed as a snack on their own. The bell pepper is the most common pepper in the United States.
If you are like me, you grew up learning about the USDA’s Food Pyramid. That has been replaced with MyPlate. You might be wondering - what is MyPlate? Instead of a pyramid of foods to eat during the day, MyPlate simplifies eating healthy; it provides a guide or map for what we should eat at each meal, taking out some of the guesswork.
