My daughter Sarah is home from college for a few weeks before heading back for summer classes. She has been living in a dorm the past two semesters. ALL of her food choices have come from the cafeteria or fast food joints (YUCK!).
She hates not knowing where her food is sourced from and how it has been prepared. I don't blame her for feeling frustrated and a bit under nourished.
Finding healthy food and making wise choices has been almost impossible. She tends to make the least "poor" choice. No wonder freshman are putting on the "freshman 15".
We are totally taking advantage of her time at home and cooking up a storm! We wander the fresh food area of or local grocery. Looking for yummy things to try. The other day we found the cutest mini peppers. Looked for a recipe on the cell phone, grabbed the ingredients and tried something new. They were awesome! This is a great tip for getting your kids to eat new veggies. Let them pick out a fresh ingredient and help you cook a new recipe together. They are much more likely to taste and like something they helped prepare.
We have also been reading labels, sourcing local food items, and trying lots of new recipes form ones she pinned on her Pinterest page while at school dreaming of good food and a kitchen to cook in.
The summer is a great time to try new veggies, fresh fruits, or branch out further and grow some herbs, plant a few seeds and see what you can produce.
I am loving having her here cooking away with me in the kitchen. It is hot in in this kitchen but I wouldn't want to be anywhere else these days!
