I provided healthy snacks at the Literacy Fair at Chandler School last night. It was a nice evening with Mary Jo Huff as the entertainment. My job was to provide healthy treats for all the parents and children. I used the usual treats our kids get at the Garden School. I served chocolate cake, ginger bread cookies, chocolate chip cookies, cinnamon muffins, cranberry and walnut muffins and peanut butter pie for 200. It was well received.
It's funny how parents are always leery about strange food for their kids, but once they tried the cookies and muffins, most of them came back for the recipes. Food is mostly only thought about when we are hungry or when it's right in front of you. Preparing food is a skill, and it takes a lot of thought. When you consider how much food makes or shakes our health, it's worth the time and effort to make it count NOW not when we suddenly find ourselves with heart or kidney trouble and it's too late. Children today have the arteries of 40 year olds because of what they eat, and that's not going away any time soon.
This morning I'm publishing a great article from World's Healthiest Foods about sea vegetables. This is our new thing. I must the Asian store for this I'm sure, but ... well you read the article and see if you think it's something to try:
