Monday Message - Labor Day

| Kids Eat Right: Picnic Ideas |
Labor Day often marks the "end of summer" as school begins this week and we move into the busy fall schedule. I encourage you to take the time to enjoy a picnic on Labor Day. If you already have plans for the holiday, work it into the weekend or plan a weeknight picnic before it gets too cold. Find a new park to explore and do not forget to leave enough time to play! Have fun and feel free share your picnic story.

Monday Message - The Season for Strawberries
The Michigan strawberry growing season is very short. Do not delay in getting your Michigan Strawberries and take my advice - pick them in abundance. They can be frozen or preserved in fruit spreads that you can use through next season. Jump on Pinterest for easy recipe ideas and tips for quick hulling.
Want a challenge? Skip a step and do not hull your berries this year, Native Americans believe that the sacred medicines are in those bright green leaves. Eat the whole berry. Keep the strawberry intact when freezing and throw them into your morning smoothie for an extra nutrition punch. Find more information on these nutritious sweet fruits in this week's Kids Eat Right Article.

Recipe of the Week - Tiger Fries
Tiger Fries
Not too long ago, my daughter and I went through a local drive through and the only option for a child meal included "fries." I did not even realize that we had ordered any until the smell permeated my car as we pulled out of the drive through lane. With her impending appetite creating some chaos in the backseat, I handed her a "French fry." She said "what's this?" I did not answer right away and as she took it from me, I told her it was "hot." After taking the "hot" potato from me she took a bite and her next comment was "yummy!" Bummer. Needless to say, I had tried to shelter her from fast-food fried potatoes for quite some time but even to a child with very little "fry" experience, "yummy!" is a common response. Although I am not too worried about creating a habit as that was her first experience in 2 1/2 years, I find it is nice to have a good kid-friendly "fried potato" recipe in my back pocket! Check out this Kids Eat Right Recipe for a "yummy!" potato treat.
