From the Kitchen Friday: Kids Eat Right

August is a busy month of getting in last minute vacations, shopping for school supplies, and enjoying the last days of summer.  It is also the month celebrating Kids Eating Right. Kids Eat Right is a national campaign starting in 2010 offering resources and information to the public to encourage nutritious and healthful eating amoung children and families. This campaign is near and dear to my heart because it's helps everyone eat healthier but in a creative and delicious way. 

We all love kids and we all want them to be healthy and happy. But many of us just don't where to start when getting creative in the kitchen, finding easy recipes and inexpensive ways to shop for these kinds of foods. This campaign helps with all of these things. I will use a lot of the great recipes from the website on this blog and I hope you check out this great resource: 

 
You really do not have to spend a lot of money and you don't have to spend hours in the kitchen to have foods kiddos enjoy. Another thing to get kids interested  in the foods they eat, is to get them in the kitchen and cooking!  Have a day where your kids help make dinner every week. Have a day each weekend that the kids are involved in family snack time. And it can be all ages. Young children can help you stir or pour and older kids can be your sous chef. 

Cool and I love to do cooking classes for all ages. Look for our monthly cooking class starting this fall, bring your kids and start eating right! Get the kids into the kitchen and whip up this delicious and easy recipe this weekend:  


Easy Fruit Pizzas

1 package of Blueberry Belvita Cookies
1 6-ounce vanilla Greek yogurt
20 fresh blueberries
1/4 cup low-fat granola (I like Bare Fit Vanilla Almond)

Evenly distribute yogurt onto the 4 cookies. Place 5 blueberries on each cookie and then sprinkle with granola. 

Yum. Have a great weekend!
