My 4 year old son is hooked on chicken nuggets and cheetos. It’s extremely hard to break him out of habit. However, I do try to make him sit at the dinner table and he is not to move until he eats what I cooked. If he gets hungry he will eat, right? Any suggestions on getting him to be healthy?

Don’t forget about broccoli and green tea. With cancer preventing nutrients, both are a wonderful addition to the everyday diet.

I <3 blueberries!
:D

My kids have always followed our lead when it comes to veggies and fruit. We plant a vegetable garden every year, with herbs included! We also have apple trees, a peach tree and a grape vine. A fun activity for us as a family is when we run across a strange fruit or veggie in the supermarket or at the farmers market – we will always ask how its to be prepared and try it together. The kids LOVE it and we have added A LOT of new things to our diets that we love!! (We have, however, found a few things that we didn’t buy again…lol :)

Okay, so how cool is it that my daughter says to me “Mommy, can I have steamed yellow squash and zuchini with my dinner?” I had been steaming and eating these veggies thinking that she wouldn’t like them and after one taste, she was a fan! Who knew?

Today in my kid’s lunch box they were sent a natural trail mix with whole almonds and walnuts, raisins, and dried cranberries. Then after dropping them off at school, my daughter and I went to the grocery store and just picked up a pomegranite(sp). I had tried one in the past and enjoyed it juicy, nutty flavor. A little messy peeling it but well worth it!
