Encouraging healthy eating habits for Family Fun Friday

Every few months I resolve to get my picky eating kids to eat healthier food.  This spring, I am back at it again.  I finally have my own eating habits settling into a healthy pattern.  Now it is time to focus on kid the kids to eat healthier.

Encouraging healthy eating habits

With that in mind, my Family Fun Friday features this week all include some tips with that in mind.

1. Kayse Pratt wrote an inspirational post on 3 Ways mom can start fresh everyday.  I love it because it reminds me that though my previous attempts have been unsuccessful, tomorrow is a new day.

2. Mom’s Morning Coffee shares some tips on how to get picky eaters to eat.

3.  Busy Moms Living Well shares 10 simple food swaps for better health.
4. My kids love tortillas so I plan to try this whole wheat tortilla version as a “first step” into healthier food choices.
5. My kids eat fruit all day long but this tasty rainbow fruit  parfait would be a great way to introduce more fruit varieties!
6.  My goal isn’t to have my children cut down on carbs or fats.  My goal is to introduce my kids to more real, unprocessed, food.  Laura Sue Shaw shares these five steps to eating real food. 
We have already started participating in #OneNewFood and I hope that you join me tomorrow to see what we tried.  Now onto the other features and the party!
