Our healthy living expert, Shari Steinbach, joined us out at Cannonsburg for some healthy winter treats. Make sure to check out her blog below to get the recipes!
This week we paired Shari Steinbach up with the Imhoff Family of Rockford. She took a look around their kitchen and gave them some great suggestions on ways to eating healthier.
On Tuesday, December 15, I was lucky enough to travel to Ridge Park Charter Academy to tape a fun segment for Where You Live with Miss Feyen’s second grade classroom. The school was celebrating Christmas around the world and this class focused on Japan. The children were very excited to have us there and greeted us in their handmade costumes and decorated room. My job was to talk about healthy eating – which is not easy during this season full of holiday cookies and candy. I reminded the kids that it’s important to eat healthy most of time so we can stay strong and enjoy all the fun winter activities. We then worked together to create some good-for-you snacks that were colorful, seasonal and delicious!
Fruit Kabob Tree Cut the top and one inch off the bottom of a fresh pineapple so it stands up. Make approximately 25 kabobs on 4-inch skewers or toothpicks using red and green fruit. We used kiwi and strawberries. Stick skewers in the sides of the pineapple to form your tree. Decorate the top of the tree with a Star Fruit skewer. When the kabobs are gone you can cup up the pineapple to eat!
Red and Green Pepper “Sushi”
Spread a thin layer of low fat vegetable cream cheese on spinach and tomato wraps. Sprinkle diced red and green pepper on top of cream cheese and roll up tightly. Cut into ½-inch “sushi” pieces.
