    Tasty Treats

    We all love a Tasty Treat ;)
    Do you crave a Starbucks?… How about chocolate? Can you think of your favorite candy bar from when you were a child? Do you remember picking the marshmallows from your cereal bowl of Lucky Charms?!?

    Little Meatballs for Little Hands

    “On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese… I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed…”

    Creating Healthy Eating Habits

    Yuck!
    “I don’t want that, it’s green!” You’ve heard it before. Even if they don’t say it, they leave it on the plate- untouched. Or they turn their head as you try every trick in the book to get them to eat it. It is much easier to start young as our kiddos get accustomed to the tastes and textures of the items we are offering. But have faith: you CAN start at anytime!
