Recipes & Food news

A family dinner is a great opportunity to introduce your children to new foods and explore new tastes. A 2003 study in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that repeated exposure helped children learn to enjoy different foods.

Let your child take a little portion or add it to a kid-friendly favorite and insist he or she finish their small serving. Whether it’s broccoli, spinach, a piece of salmon or a new spice, don’t give up on the first try. Familiarity will not breed contempt but rather acceptance. Eventually, with repetition, many healthy foods and more interesting herbs and spices will be embraced as family favorites.

 

It's also important to eat on a budget so these meals are figure and wallet friendly. Check back each month for more great recipes and food tips.
