Of course with baby food, it's easy to give them vegetables and fruits, but when they start table food, that's when you must start making deliberate decisions concerning their diet. The more healthy foods they try and like in the beginning, the easier it will be for them all life long. And if you have them eating right, odds are you will be eating better too. Be an example to your children with a healthy diet yourself.

Are you a healthy eater?

Are your kids?

    Yes, it's the only way to keep healthy! I love fruit or veggie smoothies. If you blend some nice veggies with beetroot juice, until smooth, the result if quite sweet, kids might enjoy that!

    We try...but Mac and cheese is always a sure thing. Kraft that is. Homemade is hit or miss. Do have a butternut squash Mac and cheese recipe to try.

    ...you had me at McDiets!

    I'm having trouble getting my 2 year old to eat - consistently anyway. She loves fruit which is great. I just read this morning that toddlers stomachs are as big as their fists - so I need to chill out a bit and let her graze and focus on a healthy eating week rather than each day.

    We try to stay on a healthy diet (with the OCCASIONAL out to eat). I work 8 am to 3 pm; 5 days a week so I get home in time to make dinner. I love home made salads and bake a lot of our dinners from scratch. When you make food from scratch it goes a lot further than going out to dinner & most of the time it's a lot healthier too. Thanks, I will have to try some of the ideas & recipes out! Got some picky eaters in our house. lol
