Marinated Grilled Breast of Chicken with Mango Salsa Baja Vegetable Stir Fry... of love

This dish was created for TCOYD. I'm partnered with Taking Control of Your Diabetes, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping people with diabetes live better lives through education and proaction.

Their conferences and health fairs bring together people with diabetes and those at risk with national and local medical professionals and diabetes related experts for a day of highly informative and motivating programs that empower our participants to take control of their diabetes.

What to expect from a TCOYD conference and health fair:

• Inspiring and motivating lectures from renowned speakers
• Health screenings, such as glucose, cholesterol, A1C tests and foot exams
• One-on-one conversations with diabetes specialists including physicians, diabetes educators, dietitians, psychologists, exercise specialists, , podiatrists, pharmacists and ophthalmologists
• Our lively, one-of-a-kind health fair with exhibits from national and local diabetes-related companies and organizations and physical activities for everyone
• Healthy, sit-down banquet lunch with an inspirational keynote speaker at most locations. In some venues we may not have the speaker, but a good lunch is always included.
