Home Made Rhubarb Pie
It has been a very wet Spring here in Utah. The weeds have loved it. They grow so very fast. There is one vegetable that grows as fast as the weeds. It is rhubarb. Our rhubarb plant is very big. If other vegetables grew as fast there would be a lot less food shortage problems.
Last Saturday I cut some of the rhubarb. I didn’t make any difference to the plant. You could not tell that I had cut any. After bringing in I washed, then diced the rhubarb.
Then my oldest daughter came by. Together she and I made an open faced rhubarb pie. We made it from a recipe we found on the internet. It was a simple recipe, with rhubarb, sugar, tapioca, butter, and a little flour.
The pie was delicious.
Working together with children is a good way to strengthen the family. It is a good time to talk and laugh together.

Children can be the fussiest of eaters, and while it can be a battle to get anything down one child’s throat the next can be a joy to feed.
It’s common sense that in order to be healthy, you need to keep junk food and confectionery to a minimum, however these days its seems to be the other way around in so many cases.
It can be so frustrating for parents to get their children to eat healthy food. Fast food is at every turn and advertised everywhere. Unfortunately it’s cool to eat junk food. The fact that they put toys inside kid’s meals as incentives such as McDonald’s Happy Meals, makes it even more of a challenge.
Let’s face it, it’s easier to get kids to eat junk than it is to get them to eat healthy food. So how can we overcome this dilemma?
1. Disguise food – For example, there is lots of healthy stuff you can add to pizza, like broccoli, mushrooms, peas, beans or even spinach. Hide the healthy stuff among the toppings that they do like, by placing it on the pizza first – by chopping them up very finely chances are they probably won’t even notice.
2. Spruce up food. For example: cream cheese or peanut butter on celery, and use vegetable sticks as dipping sticks.
3. Ranch style dressing or melted cheese on veggies, such as cauliflower, carrots and broccoli.
4. Give you own incentives – If they finish eating their meal, they can have dessert. Make sure you don’t put too much food on their plates, as they will stop when they think they may not have enough room for treats, and then you have a fight on your hands.
5. Puree fruit into smoothies – these are always a great hit with kids and easy to swallow. Put some ice cream or banana’s in to make the texture nice and smooth. You could always sneak a pureed veggie in there, and they wouldn’t even notice amongst the sweetness. Try freezing them too for ice snacks.
Don’t get upset and make a fuss if they don’t eat everything, be reasonable. Stand by the rules, if they haven’t made a reasonable effort to eat their dinner, then no dessert.
Some parents insist their children eat certain vegetables that are not widely palatable, if you don’t like it, chances are neither will your children. Again, be reasonable.
Some kids may prefer eating veggies raw, rather than cooked. I know my own children loved eating “frozen balls” which were frozen peas. Great!
Many adults don’t know how to eat well themselves. With the internet at everyone’s fingertips these days, there is no excuse. The internet is a huge encyclopedia where you will find anything you want to know about.
Try to make mealtimes fun, and all sit down to eat together when you can. Children are little people and love company too. Turn off the TV and all sit down and have your meal together, your chances might be greatly increased without the usual fuss.

Wouldn’t it be great if kids grew up loving fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and everything that was healthy and nutritious for them? When parents prepare healthy meals for their kids, they are helping to develop exactly the right habits that will allow them to grow up not only eating, but enjoying all types of healthy and nutritious foods. So let’s see what’s involved in preparing a healthy kids meal.
In order for a child to enjoy healthy foods, the foods need to be appealing to children. Why do you think there are chicken nuggets shaped like dinosaurs? Breakfast cereals come in bright colors shaped like all kinds of cartoon characters? Fast food kid’s meals come with toys? The food industry knows that these are all appealing to a child’s imagination.
Healthy kids meals will all have the following characteristics:
· Have fun and imaginative names that your child can identify with
· Have bright colors and come in interesting shapes and/or designs
· Have familiar textures, crisp vegetables, crunchy snacks, juicy fruits, etc
· Come in kid sized portions
By introducing children to foods that are healthy and nutritious in a fun and imaginative way, it is already appealing to them and they will want to try it. Nothing is more difficult than getting a child to eat his/her Brussel Sprouts ‘because I told you they are good for you’. Also, by appealing to your child’s imagination, you can start to engage him/her in some of the planning and preparation.
Kids love to help mom and dad do stuff, whatever it is, so this is an excellent chance to get them involved and start developing those healthy eating habits. To get your child involved, and keep their interest, all recipes should:
· Use basic ingredients found in most home pantries
· Be simple to prepare allowing the child to help
· Be fast to prepare (~15 minutes)
Although most kids will have a favorite food that they want to eat every meal of every day, variety is also important since it allows you to introduce a wider range of healthy foods into their diet. Also, not every meal is going to be a well balanced dinner. Healthy eating habits means selecting healthful and nutritious options for all meals including:
· Drinks
· Snacks
· Packed lunches for school
· Prepared lunches at home
· Evening meals
· Desserts
The goal is to have your kids enjoying healthy foods, and eating well balanced and nutritious meals before they even realize it’s good for them, and by that time they will like the foods so much, they won’t care. So instead of engaging in a battle of wills over who’s not leaving the table until they finish their broccoli, prepare healthy kids meals that are so much fun they’ll be asking for more.

Kids are notoriously picky eaters. If it doesn’t come in a box with a cute cartoon character promoting it, then they probably aren’t interested. It’s important to get your children to develop healthy eating habits early on, without having to force them to reluctantly choke down something they don’t enjoy. In fact, making them eat certain foods could backfire, leading to binge snacking when you’re not looking and/or having a bad association with a certain food for the rest of their life.
Here are 5 tips to ensure that your child is eating healthy because they know it’s good for them. Teach them early on, and they will continue their nutritious eating habits for the rest of their lives.
1. Teach – First and foremost, talk to your kids and teach them that eating healthy will help them to “grow up and be big and strong”. Just like talks about drugs or smoking, if they know why they should do things a certain way and how it could benefit them, they are much more likely to listen.
2. Variety – If they’ve been eating lots of unhealthy foods and snacks until now, ease them into their new eating habits. For the first few weeks, allow them to continue eating a few of their favorite foods, but mix in something nutritious with the same meal. Just mixing in a sliced apple or a bowl of corn with their dinner will help to widen their palette and develop tastes for new foods.
3. Schedule – Stick to an organized schedule for family meals. If you have breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the same time each day, your child will be hungry at the right times and less likely to fill up on snacks and junk food.
4. Tastes Change – As a child, and even into adulthood, our tastes and flavor preferences can change dramatically. So, just because junior despises the taste of broccoli now, he could develop a taste for it later on. If there’s a specific healthy food your child refuses to eat, reintroduce it in new ways every few weeks. In the case of broccoli, for example, try mixing it in with a salad or chicken wrap to overcome the “ewww broccoli” stereotype.
5. Meal Environment – Try to have all meals in an organized setting with the entire family. If you’re all eating and talking at a dining table without television or other distractions, your children will view mealtime as a pleasant social experience, rather than a minor annoyance they endure in between playtimes.
Put these tips to use starting with your next meal, and you can begin building the foundation for your child’s healthy lifestyle. And, don’t forget to lead by example Mom and Dad!

Good eating habits are essential to teach your children at a young age. As a mother of 5 myself I have had quite the experience in making sure that my kids eat healthily. With junk food everywhere, it makes it really hard for parents to make sure that their kids are eating healthy. Good eating habits need to be developed at the earliest age possible. Next time, instead of giving your toddler a cookie for a snack try some apple slices or grapes.
If you are a parent of a toddler, this is the perfect time to really create some good eating habits. They are so impressionable at this age. If you are having an apple for a snack they will as well. You cannot expect to eat a candy bar for a snack while they are given fruit. It doesn’t make sense to them, and they want to have what you’re having.
By having good eating habits yourself, you teach them by example. Teaching a child to eat healthy when they have not done so earlier in life is difficult, believe me. I shall use myself as an example. As soon as my daughter was old enough for solid foods, she chewed on apple slices and peaches. During last Easter, she was given a basket of chocolate bunnies and she didn’t want them. Instead, she was asking for bananas. She is now 2 years old by the way. By developing good eating habits early on she will be fixed with those habits for the rest of her life.
Other hand, I adopted 3 girls that were older and had not established any type of healthy diet. That was one really hard thing to change, but by the rest of us eating healthy they learned quickly.
Not only is junk food one of the worst enemies of a balanced diet, fast food has now become a regular part of our lives. We are all too busy to make good healthy meals, so we settle for fast food instead. The fast food industry is taking quite a rap for how horribly unhealthy it is and how it is destroying our good eating habits. The fast food industry is fast realizing that and is now trying to compensate by offering some healthy foods. A good example of this is apple slices are now being offered as desert at certain fast food chains. Even though they are making changes, it is still crucial that a healthy balanced diet is established in the home. Schools have begun offering healthier lunches and are getting some criticism as well. With making sure that your kids eat a healthy breakfast, a well-balanced lunch at school, and a wholesome home cooked dinner, you can really help keep your kids happy, energetic as well as healthy. Unhealthy treats are okay to have every now and then, but they should not become a staple in your home.
Healthy afternoon snacks such as fruit will also help keep your kids disease and illness-free. Studies have proven that kids who do not have a well-balanced and healthy diet tend to have a weaker immune system, hence they fall sick a lot more often than other children.
To ensure that our children develop a mindset to eating healthy throughout their lives, it is up to us as parents to lead by example and show them that good eating habits start at home.

These days, when the fast food habit has taken all over the world, it is necessary that you teach your children how to eat healthy food on a regular basis. It is highly important to make your child get used to eating fruits, vegetables and cooked meals. This will allow him to develop in a harmonious way and grow strong and healthy.
The first step in attracting your baby or little child into eating vegetables is to make colorful dishes, which should attract their attention. When children are small, they find pleasure in things which look good and are as colorful as possible. This is why you will have to put all your creation at work when it comes to cooking the meals. Use as many vegetables as possible and combine them in an original way.
You can even make flowers, houses, trees and some animals from the food you have at your disposal. Also, you can add some animal shape pasta to your soup. Your children will be delighted with the idea and will eat just for fun. You can even dare them to find a sheep, a horse or a chicken and eat it. If you have more than one kid, you can start a contest and see who can find and eat more animals in a shorter time. This way, the meal time will be more like a game, a pleasant and tasty one.
It is highly important that the entire family eat at the same hour and the same food. If you set special eating hours for your baby and give him food cooked especially for him, he will feel excluded and refuse to eat. This is why, you should gather all he family around the table at a set hour, preferably the same every day and eat your meal together. If your baby will see that everyone else is eating what he is eating, he will try to copy you and eat as much as he can. He will properly understand the importance of eating and will no longer refuse to eat.
If you really want your baby to eat everything from his plate, you should make him a small portion. Giving your baby too much food and forcing him to eat it all is no good. He will probably refuse to do that and will become more and more frustrated. Thus, it is better to have small portions and let him ask for more, if he wants. It will be his decision as he probably knows better when there is no more empty space in his stomach.
Making your baby eat healthy and cooked food can be quite easy, if you are ready to wait and make him some concessions. Let him eat all by himself, even though this means more dirt on the floor and on his face, put small portions in his plate, make the meal as attractive as possible and eat all at the same hour. These simple things will make your baby eager for the meal time to come. He will eat his full and develop harmoniously.

Healthy food is food that contains many nutrients that will benefit your health.
It is nutritious and nourishing providing the body with essential nutrients – vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrates, good fat, and water. These nutrients are necessary for life. Without them your body does not receive the proper fuel to function at its best. Your body will develop health problems – maybe minor at first like headaches, skin rashes, tiredness, but later develop into major health problems like diabetes, cancer or heart disease.
Healthy food is:
1. Fresh, fruit and vegetables, whole grains and legumes, raw nuts and seeds. Raw, unprocessed foods are live foods. They contain the greatest amount of vitamins, minerals and enzymes and provide the body with the greatest amount of nutrition.
2. Unprocessed or as close to its natural state as possible. Animal foods-eggs, poultry and meat-that are free range, grass fed and hormone and antibiotic free are definitely best.
3. Free from additives and preservatives. Check the ingredients list. If there are additives and preservatives they will be listed, so the shorter the ingredients list the better the product.
4. High in vitamins, minerals, protein, complex carbohydrates, fibre and low in fat, salt (sodium) and sugar. Check this out by reading the nutrition information panel on the packaging.
5. Not overcooked or over processed to the point of destroying all the beneficial nutrients. So by using quick cooking methods for vegetables you will be getting loads more nutrients from the food.
Warning – Even if the product is labelled ‘all natural,’ ‘low fat’ or any other statements implying that the product is healthy, it may still be unhealthy and contain harmful ingredients. The only way you will know for sure is if you read the list of ingredients and the nutrition information.
So now that you have selected healthy foods how do you get your kids to eat them?
There is a huge variety of healthy and very colourful foods to choose from. With the abundance of cooking shows and recipe websites and cookbooks it really is easy to find ways to prepare and present these foods to your kids. You can even get online videos showing you how to prepare them! Here’s just 7 quick tips on how to get your kids to eat healthy foods.
1. Take your kids to the fruit and vegetable market and slowly check out the different foods. Pick out three fruits and three vegetables that they like then get them to help you choose at least two new fruits and two new vegetables to try. Then in a few weeks take them again for more new foods to try.
2. Find new recipes for these new fruits and vegetables and serve them up confidently to your family.
3. Make small packages of fruit salad, cut up vegetables (those bite-sized cherry tomatoes are ideal) with a slice of cheese, or a small bag of home made popcorn, or nuts and have them on hand for instant snacks or to put in the lunch box.
4. Try new, healthy foods more than once in at least three different ways. Discover different ways to prepare foods they may have tried but not liked before.
5. Make meals and snacks at home with the kids. Whatever the age, by getting them involved will get them more interested and excited about the food as well as having some control over what they eat.
6. Be an enthusiastic role model. Your children really do learn from you! You cannot expect them to do things you yourself are not prepared to do – so maybe you need to be more adventurous with your food choices.
7. Only have healthy food in the fridge and pantry. Get rid of foods you know are not healthy and do not continue to buy them! Replace them with healthier options to keep on hand. The kids will eat them when they are hungry and will get used to seeing them in the fridge and pantry.
You can make a difference to your kids’ food choices. It really is that simple!

Foods or drinks such as French fries, cookies, candy, chips, ice cream, pastries, donuts, and cake are called palatable foods-they taste good and they often produce pleasure and calmness in many individuals. Signals to eat these foods can come by seeing, hearing, smelling or touching the food. The sounds of someone eating potato chips and the smell of freshly baked brownies can bring back past remembrances of the pleasures of these foods lodged in memory and stimulate the desire to eat them.
Combining various combinations of sugar, fat and salt they provide pleasure when eating or drinking by stimulating nerve endings in the mouth and then in the brain. Not only taste, but the smell, and texture contribute to the pleasing experience.
Children, even more than adults are receptive to these stimuli and what begins as a rare treat can become a daily habit. Just seeing picture on TV or passing a bill board or sign on a fast food drive-thru can signal feeling of desire. Soon the child moves from curiosity and “interest” to “I want” to “I need.”
What Parents Can Do and Not Do About Palatable Foods
Let’s face it many of the major contributors to our children’s dysfunctional eating like school lunches, vending machines and eating at friend’s homes maybe beyond our control. However, there are many factors contributing to child and teen’s eating that are within the control of the parent and can be changed given a little thought. These include taking children to fast food restaurants, buying high calorie sweet and salty snacks without portion control and permitting eating in front of a TV.
Negative Cues to Eat: Restricting Food Leads to Weight Gain
Parents have the responsibility to ensure that their children get the “right” amount of the “right” food. In response to an environment filled with easy to get, high calories non nutritious foods, the parents often put too rigid constrains on their children’s access to the foods by hiding them, doling them out piece by piece or simply refusing to let their child eat or drink them. Numerous studies prove that highly restrictive feeding practices draws attention to the food and thereby increases the child’s desire for more of the restrictive foods.
What happens sooner or latter is that these foods will be available and then overeating of them occurs. Enforcing highly restrictive eating, especially in girls by their mothers, leads to eating in the absence of food, feelings of negative self worth and often interferes with girl’s development of their own food intake controls. The end result is weight gain.
The fact that rigid restriction of “bad” foods leads to overeating latter does not mean the parents should not put some restriction on the foods their children’s eats. Constructing guidelines and setting limits is fundamental for having your child grow up to be an independent, well balanced adult. It’s become very clear that many children over the age of 6 will not make healthy food choices or limit food intake. Control of unwanted behavior through food rewards or deprivation of high calorie extremely palatable foods and drinks can undermine the infant and young child’s ability to attend to their internal cues of hunger and satiety. On the other hand, parents who take the lead by eating and drinking the right foods and exercising set desirable goals for their children to follow.
Using Food as Rewards for Children and Teens for Good Behavior:
At home, school and throughout the community food is often offered to children as a reward for good behavior. Often these foods are easy, inexpensive with little nutritional value. What ever change of behavior occurs is short lived and sets up bad patterns which can eventually become bad habits.
Here are some of the disadvantages of using food as a reward
o It encourages over eating of high calorie, high fat or sugary foods
o It teaches the children to eat when they are not hungry as a reward for themselves or others.
o Children learn food preferences from eating food they are given. Given the fact that people have a genetic based desire for sweet and fatty foods, using candy as rewards only makes the food more desirable.
Teaching young children to like bad foods should not be the goal of any parents. Does it make sense to say, “here is something that is not very healthy for you as a reward for being good”
Parents are also responsible for not only what their child and teens eats and drinks, but also the portion size, timing of the eating, the social content of eating (such as eating in front of the TV), and whether their children end up at fast food restaurants.

We’d like to think we have full control over our food choices, and that we make decisions about what to eat based solely on nutritional value, taste preferences, cost, and maybe convenience. But the truth is advertising exerts a mighty influence over what we choose to eat and feed our families.
As adults, we can counter the effects of advertising on our food choices with awareness. We can (usually) distinguish advertising from objective information, knowing that ads aim to persuade us to buy something. We can read labels to uncover the facts about foods on grocery store shelves. Most of us can use our experience and common sense to sort out good food from bad.
Food Marketing Targets Children
Children are more vulnerable than adults to advertisements and less able to tell fact from fiction. Aggressive marketing targets children as young as toddlers. The foods they promote for children can be largely unhealthy, high in sugar and fat. The possible consequences of advertising unhealthy food to children are serious because children need good nutrition to grow and thrive and because early eating habits may become ingrained for the large part of their life.
Even though young children don’t buy their own food, their insistence on eating only the cereal with the toy inside that they saw on television can wear parents down. Parents, who have to choose their battles with their children, may give in to pressure from their youngsters. Also, by the time they become teenagers, most kids are buying at least some of their own food.
Reduce Childrens Exposure to Advertisments
Parents can take steps to minimize the influence of marketing on their child’s nutrition:
* Limit television time-eliminate it if possible. Provide videos for young children to watch instead of TV shows with ads. Allow absolutely no more than two hours per day in front of the television. The less time the better.
* If your children watch television, watch it with them and discuss the advertising. Also discuss ads in magazines, newspapers, and billboards as well on the Internet and on in-school advertising. Talk about what the ads are trying to sell and how to know if what they say is true. Observe your childrens reactions: Children don’t like to be tricked and lied to anymore than adults do.
* Encourage participation in activities other than watching TV, such as sports, hobbies, and family outings.
* Help children read food labels. Select one piece of information such as calories and show them how to compare calories for different foods.
* Prepare healthy, tasty, and fun food for your family. As one three-year old put it, he likes to go over to his friend’s house because her mom makes good snacks. Take a lesson from marketing experts and persuade your family that your good food is the food they should eat.
* Work with your schools to eliminate sodas and candy from vending machines and high fat/high calorie foods from the lunchroom. Make sure in-school advertising does not promote unhealthy food.
Teach Healthy Eating Skills to Your Children
Children will be confronted with advertising throughout their lives; there’s no practical way to eliminate it. By reducing their exposure to ads and teaching them how to choose good food, parents can help their children make independent decisions and learn healthy eating skills that will serve them lifelong.
