As parents we are always looking for easy, inexpensive, quick recipes that our families will actually LIKE! As a teacher we can help families provide nutritious meals by sharing simple recipes in your classrooms, printed out to give to our busy, on-the-go families. Parents appreciate it when we share printed recipes they can “grab and go” on the way out.

What does a healthy recipe look like?
When we modify recipes to make them healthier we want to:
start with whole foods-like fruit, veggies, proteins/eggs/nuts/beans, dairy foods and whole grains-REAL FOOD!
eliminate or at least reduce processed sugars as much as possible
reduce added salt-children have more sensitive taste receptors than adults
used whole grains rather than highly processed grains like white flour or white rice
use healthy fats like avocados, olive oil, grass-fed butter, some nutritionists consider coconut oil to be a healthy fat, though there is some debate about it because it is a saturated fat.
Be sure your recipe :
Includes a list of all ingredients
Includes step-by-step instructions

is inexpensive

follows the guidelines above for a healthier recipe
