For the most part our schools are doing a great job feeding our kids a healthy lunch, at least here on San Juan Island. It's my opinion that kids are becoming unhealthy when they get off school, around 3:00pm. This is when they're alone at home, or with their friends, and they tend to get stuck into the bad stuff, like candy, chips and cereal, which is highly processed.
Here's a healthy little snack you can prep in the morning so it's ready for when they get home!
Thinly sliced apple or pear, and Parmesan cheese, with a balsamic drizzle. Deb's kids love this snack food, it just takes the edge off, while dinner is underway...
If you prep this in the morning, squeeze lemon juice on the apple or pear to stop it turning color. Remember fruit is fructose (sugar), so avoid eating to much.
Bon Appetit!
Committed to teaching the art and ease of cooking real, local, organic foods -- instead of processed foods from boxes and cans -- in order to sustain optimal health and weight for kids and adults. World-renowned Chef and Author Jamie Oliver is quoted in his book "Jamie's Italy" as saying, "My kids' generation is the first to be expected to die before their parents." How shocking is that? CNN was quoted as saying, "There is a coronary time bomb waiting to go off in our young children."
