Eating well doesn't have to be junk food versus healthy!
When you think "healthy foods" do you think:
Well let me ask you this:
Eating well doesn't have to be junk food versus healthy. If eating healthy were fun I think you would be more likely to try it. So let's start by saying no to naked vegetables!
Why not try carrots with a brown sugar glaze?
Why not try celery sticks filled with peanut butter and raisins?
Instead of mashed potatoes, why not try mashed sweet potatoes with pecans?
Have you ever tried sliced apples and pears baked in the oven with maple syrup and walnuts?
Are you drooling yet? Then come to the Alachua Branch Library to check out the IFAS "Healthy Eats" cooking demonstration. This is your opportunity to learn how to make the good stuff fun.
