The month of August is Kids Eat Right Month. Just in time for Back to School, it's the best time for Kids Eat Right Month, a month dedicated to helping parents and kids make healthy food choices. Sara Umphleet, Dietitian at OSF Saint Luke Medical Center, along with Samantha Rux, joined Wake Up Tri-Counties with tips for parents and kids on making sure you are aiding your child's brain health with a healthy diet. Among the things to know, Breakfast for kids is urgently important. Getting a range of nutrition and a full stomach before school is key to helping your child be focused and learn more while in school. These tips and more as part of Kids Eat Right Month, are part of our Wake Up Tri-Counties conversation with OSF Saint Luke Medical Center.

Kids Eat Right Month is a time to focus on balanced eating, shopping, and active lifestyles for kids. While it's important to think about this throughout the year, August is a great opportunity to get back into wellness routines just in time for the start of the new school year!  Join us as we chat with our soon-to-be first graders on what it means to "eat right" and which balanced and nutrient dense foods they've been loving lately.

Cooking with kids can be messy, zany, and best of all, very rewarding. Teaching kids how to cook and getting them comfy in the kitchen (especially with fruit and vegetable preparation) can set them up for a lifetime of healthy eating habits. August is Kids Eat Right Month, so it’s only fitting that on today's show, I tackle the topic of Kids in the Kitchen. Join the fun today as we cook our way through recipes for Chicken & Fresh Corn Salad and Roasted Cauliflower Steaks with Pistachio Pesto, and hear from my sister-in-law and niece about the innovative way kids in England are now learning how to cook! On today’s show, I take you behind the scenes to two kid/adult cooking classes I taught at Nantucket Culinary this summer and the recipes we prepared. My special guests on the show are my British my sister-in-law, Karen (aka “Mrs. Broccoli”) and my niece, Daisy. We discuss efforts underway in England to teach kids how to cook through a cool, contemporary curriculum called, Food Tech What you’ll hear in this episode: The small cooking class I taught in June at Nantucket Culinary, where we made Roasted Radishes, Homemade Coleslaw, Fish Tacos with Salmon, and Apple Berry Crisp. Why you shouldn’t shy away from teaching kids how to slice and dice fruits and veggies. The July class, which was bigger, where we made Chicken & Fresh Corn Salad, Make-Your-Own Smoothies, Chirp Chirp Deviled Eggs, and Roasted Cauliflower Steaks with Pistachio Pesto. 'Liz’s Chicken Salad' made with fresh corn kernels, fresh tarragon, Dijon mustard, mayo, and salt and pepper: “When you add some fresh peas it tastes just like summer.” Teaching kids about using a "Mother Spoon" to avoid double-dipping. How to prepare and make cauliflower steaks. Why a mini food processor works best for making pistachio pesto, which is made with EVOO, fresh basil, fresh tarragon, grated Parmesan cheese, pistachios, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, and kosher salt and pepper. “Mrs. Broccoli” and her daughter, Daisy, talk about the food and nutrition scene in England where they live. Not as many food additives and artificial colors are used in the UK Children pack their lunches according to strict rules. Only fruit, sandwich, and water are allowed---no chips and no soft drinks Hear all about the Turkey Twizzler Time in England and their school lunch revolution What Daisy enjoys cooking most: crepes (called pancakes in England) and smoothies. Daisy’s Food Tech class, where she learns about kitchen skills, nutrition, and how to make different foods including bread rolls, omelettes, pasta sauce, and Victoria Sponge Cake. The goal of the Food Tech class is for the kids to practice and learn at school and then go home and make the foods for their families. Other components of the program include woodworking, textiles, and graphic design. Why Karen and I love Chef Yotam Ottolenghi, an Israeli-British chef, restaurant owner, and food writer. How Karen became “Mrs. Broccoli.” You're going to love this story! Daisy’s top takeaways from her class: kitchen safety, knife skills, and how to spot the difference between organic and free-range eggs. Resources: Kids in the Kitchen - For Kids Eat Right Month this August, I have joined up with fellow dietitians and healthy family food bloggers to share tips for getting kids into the kitchen.

August is ‘Kids Eat Right' Month With childhood obesity on the rise, making sure kids eat right and get plenty of exercise is vital. Parents and caregivers can play a big role in children's nutrition and health, teaching kids about healthy foods, being a good role model and making sure physical activity is incorporated into each day. August, which is Kids Eat Right Month, is a great time for families to focus on the importance of healthful eating and active lifestyles. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is encouraging families to take the following steps: Shop Smart. To encourage a healthy lifestyle, get your children involved in selecting the food that will appear at the breakfast, lunch or dinner table. Cook Healthy. Involve your child in the cutting, mixing and preparation of meals. They will learn about food and may even be enticed to try new foods they helped prepare. Eat Right. Sit down together as a family to enjoy a wonderful meal and the opportunity to share the day's experiences with one another. Research indicates that those families who eat together have a stronger bond, and children have higher self-confidence and perform better in school. Healthy Habits. You can help kids form great, healthy habits by setting a good example. Fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables, choose lower-sodium options, and make at least half the grains your family eats whole grains. For beverages, choose water over sugary drinks, and opt for fat-free or low-fat milk. Get Moving. Aside from being a great way to spend time together, regular physical activity is vital to strengthen muscle and bones, promote a healthy body weight, support learning, develop social skills and build self-esteem. Kids are encouraged to be active for 60 minutes per day. Getting kids to eat right can sometimes be a challenge, particularly if they are picky eaters. But experts say that a conversation can help. “Talk to your children. Learn the foods they like. Teach them about the foods they need for their growing bodies. Find ways together to make sure they have the knowledge and ability to eat healthy and tasty foods at every meal,” says Angela Lemond, registered dietitian nutritionist and Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics spokesperson. It may help to consult a registered dietitian nutritionist in your area to ensure your family is getting the nutrients it needs with a meal plan tailored to your lifestyle and busy schedule. For more healthful eating tips, recipes, videos and to learn more about Kids Eat Right Month, visit www.KidsEatRight.org. This August, reevaluate your family's eating and exercise habits, and take steps to make positive, healthful changes.
