How to Get Healthy Food Down the Hatch

I've got a new spot as guest blogger over at Zisboombah. If you're interested in knowing what has had the biggest impact in getting my kids to eat real food, head on over and read the article where I share my secret weapon to get kids to eat healthy food. Hint: it's all about connections. Connections between the kid, the food, and the kid's activities. If you wouldn't mind, show Zisboombah some love and leave a comment on my post over there. I'd love for you to share your reactions or your secret weapon over there.

Remember that book I was writing in the Spring? This article is the summary of that book.

Zisboombah has a game for kids to build meals called Pick Chow. Each item they choose adds up to a score using protein, carbs, fat and fiber as health parameters. Each meal is given a star rating letting them know how it stacks up. There are also measures for sugar, saturated fat and sodium so kids know if any uh-oh foods are included in their meals. I could live without the sat fat indicator, but more on that later when I finally get to the review and giveaway I promised I'd cover for them. Stay tuned for the review and a chance to win some free loot!

Now, be off and read my article over there. Kay? Thanks!
