Eat a fruit or veggie high in Vitamin C daily – such as an orange, grapefruit, cabbage, broccoli or pepper. Foods of different colors offer a variety of nutritional benefits. The more colors on your plate – the more nutritional balanced your meal! Season winter squash with orange juice, allspice, nuts or raisins. Squash is loaded with Vitamin A. Eat a dark green or orange veggie every other day – such as spinach, kale, mustard greens, squash or sweet potatoes. •As the colder weather approaches, and children tend to spend more times indoors, now is a great time to get them involved in cooking! •Getting kids interested in food preparation can help improve the foods they eat and make them more likely to experiment with new foods, especially fruits and vegetables. Young children will need supervision with knives and using the stove, but teenagers can easily prepare meals or snacks. •The easier the items are to prepare, the more likely kids will try the foods again. Start out with simple pasta and vegetable dishes or let them bake breads and muffins that are chock-full of fruits or vegetables. Smoothies are another easy option. •Break the cold weather blues by encouraging your children to learn about cooking and healthy eating in the kitchen. Encourage them to accompany you to the grocery store and to pick out a new fruit and a new vegetable for the entire family to try. It may require a cookbook to find the best way to prepare the new vegetable, but a food adventure is often a good adventure?
