Cooking with positivity

Monday & you


Listen Later

This week on Cooking With Positivity, we kick off another Monday & You episode by celebrating Women’s Herstory Month and highlighting powerful women who paved the way in STEM and medicine.

Inspired by the brilliance behind Hidden Figures, we go deeper into the stories of women whose work changed history. This episode features a spotlight on Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler, the first Black woman physician in the United States, and Dr. Betty Washington Greene, a trailblazing chemist whose research helped shape the world of industrial science.

We also recognize the modern-day women continuing that legacy today, reminding us that representation in science, medicine, and innovation still matters.

Of course, we keep things true to the Cooking With Positivity mission by bringing it back to the kitchen with this week’s Stretch the Pack Tip. One pack of chicken breasts turned into six nights of meals — from jerk chicken soup to casserole, Taco Tuesday chicken bites, and crispy chicken tenders — proving that creativity in the kitchen can stretch both your plate and your wallet.

And our community mission continues:

🌶️ The jerk chicken soup featured this month used Lucky Cajun’s “What A Jerk” seasoning.
