There is nothing worse than seeing those fresh vegetables you paid your hard-earned money for rotting away in the refrigerator s vegetable drawer. When you re at the grocery store, try visualizing your week. Imagine which nights you ll be able to cook, and try including easily prepared veggies on those evenings. Thinking ahead can help to reduce the waste. Again, getting your children involved can help.

Check out kid friendly websites for recipes and fun snack ideas. Have your children play the Breakfast Game or Food Pyramid Game to learn more about what their growing bodies need.

Even young children can make simple breakfasts, like juice and cereal with lowfat milk or toast with peanut butter and a piece of fruit.
