Information from Public Health:

March is Nutrition Month and dietitians across Canada are talking about how healthy eating is about so much more than food! Cooking together as a family is a great way to help kids learn food skills, put math into action, develop confidence, and have fun.  Starting at age 2 kids can help in the kitchen with age appropriate tasks. As kids get older involve them in all stages of the process – planning, shopping, food preparation and clean up. Can you imagine a time when they can make you dinner? In the meantime extra help in the kitchen is always welcome and it is a great way to connect with your kids at the end of the school day. Make a plan to cook and eat together this month. Check out these Family Friendly Cookbooks developed by the Guelph Family Health Study. Bon appetite!
