Choosing Healthy Meals and Snack for Children

Do you struggle with finding healthy food options that your children will eat?  I found these sites today:  http://www.wholekidsfoundation.org/kids-activities/better-bites?gclid=CLaL9ITdk7kCFY3m7AodAVQAoQ

Just remember to keep juices to a minimum as they contain too much excess sugar and minimize processed food consumption.  remember this tip:  If it grew on a plant  (fruits, veggies, beans/legumes, nuts/seeds, whole grains), eat it...if it was made in a plant (ex: chips, cookies, crackers, Mac and Cheese, hot dogs, canned fruits with added sugar, etc)  avoid it.
