March Madness Continues. . . .with good things!


Did you know. . . .March is also "Nat'l Nutrition Month" and this year's theme is "Eat Right With Color"!!
Initiated in 1973, "Nat'l Nutrition Week" became a month long observance in 1980 in response to growing public interest in nutrition ~ A great reminder for EVERYONE to get a colorful variety of fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean proteins and dairy ~ every day!!!
(There are tons of good sites online as I'm sure you all know ~ One good one is EatRight.org! ~ Happy colorful eating today and each day to all of you!

Thanks for the colorful reminder! I am going to tell my kids about this and maybe they will eat some colorful veggies tonight! Worth a try, I think!

As much as our children love colors and coloring, and colorful fruits -- that love stops with colorful vegetables. We'll give it another try thanks to you!

I went to see Alton Brown speak a couple years ago and he talked about eating bright, multi colors. It's so important!
