Celebrate Eat Better, Eat Together Month
This month is all about spending quality time with the fam, especially when it comes to dinner. The Nutrition Education Network of Washington declared October Eat Better, Eat Together Month. Here's what you can do to join in!
Get in on Din
From sports to student council, being super-busy makes it hard to find time to sit down and eat. But, research has shown that kids who eat with their family perform better in school and have healthier eating habits. Plus, recent stats revealed that it isn't just about what you eat for dinner, it's about the convo and laughs that come along with it. Work together to make mealtime more fun (and less stressed!) for everyone. 'Rents don't make your vegetarian faves? Make a stir-fry with tofu to show them it can be tasty. Or, have everyone pitch in for DIY pizzas or rotate who will chop veggies each night of the week.
Here are 5 more ways to amp up your dinner!
Get involved. Bring all the family into the picture and get everyone workin’ on the cookin’. Teamwork with the sibs can be tough, but it'll be worth it.
Funkify the feast. Make some cool placemats or add some fall flowers or pumpkins to the table.
Spice up the meal. Try new flavors that'll have everyone wondering why you've been noshing the same ol', same ol'. Check out all the yummy recipes on girlslife.com!
Rock out. Make a play list of each family member’s favorite tunes and play it while you all cook and eat. This sets a happy vibe for the entire dinner.
Make a delectable desert. Yes, the goal of Eat Better, Eat Together month is to eat healthy. This doesn’t mean you have to skip desert all together. Go shopping with the fam and have everyone pick one of the favorite fruits, then make a fruit salad. If this still isn’t sweet enough add a small side of chocolate dip. Delish!
