Nutritious choices made simple®
We’ve been celebrating our 10th anniversary throughout 2016, and in one last salute to the wonderful first ten years we’ve enjoyed, we’ve gone through our content this year to bring you a list of your favorites and our favorites. Thanks for helping us celebrate this milestone!
We believe that milestone birthdays and anniversaries, like our 10th year, warrant extra reflection. As one of the first (and leading) supermarket shopping guidance systems, we’ve seen a lot of food and nutrition trends come and go since 2006—and have persevered through them all! Guiding Stars was even awarded two patents for our database system during our first decade! Won’t you join us as we review some of the most impactful nutrition trends to hit the aisles in the last ten years?
We recently hosted the Guiding Stars Associate “Stars on the Side” contest to find the best new recipes from our associates. Recipes were judged on their nutritional rating, simplicity, flavor and visual appeal. Among several promising recipes that performed beautifully on one or two of those metrics, this Succotash Salad submitted by Gayle Laughton was a clear winner for hitting all four categories wonderfully.
Hannaford and Guiding Stars folks look back over the first ten years of Guiding Stars, reminiscing together about the birth of what was an innovative program when it began and what has gone on to gain national attention and independent verification.
As we celebrate our 10th anniversary this month, we’ve had stories and photos pouring in from many of Hannaford’s RDs as they share how they’ve used Guiding Stars and our 10th anniversary to inspire more nutritious choices among Hannaford’s customers. For the next couple weeks, we’ll be sharing their stories here on our blog, so be sure to check in for great ideas on how to eat well and how to share knowledge of nutritious eating with others.

I wanted to give you a little taste of the Guiding Stars happenings in my Portsmouth and Exeter stores. I offer a kids cooking and nutrition class in both stores (1 class a month in Portsmouth, 2 classes a month in Exeter) and Guiding Stars is always a focus and big hit with the kids.
