It’s a new year and we have great opportunities to eat healthily again this year. With my children’s food allergies, we already have been eating a very natural diet, however, I decided to take a even bigger leap recently and have been diving deeper into greening up my children’s meals.We moved last year and found a great certified farmer’s market near our house. We have frequented them before when we lived near them and we also have participated in Community Support Agriculture (CSA’s) because you just can’t get any better or fresher produce than these two programs.First of all, we feel really great when we comehome Saturday mornings with six or seven cloth bags (we take our own) of fresh vegetables and fruits, usually all for about $25 dollars.
Our kids love picking our fresh produce and are very enthused to “help us” as we clean, chop and pack away food for the week.Now, we have long been a veggie leaning family, but since we have started visiting the farmer’s market again, we have definitely stepped up to a new level for us. Stay tuned and we’ll share some of the ways we are introducing new veggies to our kids.
Go Cloth, Go Granola!
