Dinnertime is the perfect opportunity to introduce healthy foods into your family's diet and to involve family members (that includes the kids!) in food choices, preparation and cooking.
Mealtime Do's and Don'ts

*Fill glasses with water or skim milk instead of soda.
*Let your kids be involved with shopping and meal preparation.
