Health Tip: March is National Nutrition Month!
Eating a healthy balanced diet is important for children and adults, but it can be a struggle to find healthy foods that everyone is willing to eat. Let the Family Resource Center help! We have many resources to help your family make healthy and tasty food choices. In addition to Cook This, Not That!, which features healthier recipes for favorite foods, also consider Coping with a Picky Eater by William G. Wilkoff, and the American Dietetic Association Guide to Healthy Eating for Kids: How Your Children Can Eat Smart from 5 to 12. If you prefer searching online, try these web sites:
