Healthy Kids...


Today the Price Chopper Kids Cooking Club launched a Healthy Kid Initiative. As a part of our program we visited a public school and spent the day with 450 students. We started the day with an assembly that featured 'Cook Your Way through a Healthy Day!', which the kids enjoyed and then...


I spent the afternoon making a healthy snack with students, which they loved!  We made my Mini Flower Pots which is a great recipe to demonstrate how much they can do themselves and
we talked about healthy dessert alternatives.

We teamed up with Registered Dietitian Dianne Fagan who taught the kids all about the importance of nutrition, played games with them and shared the Price Chopper NuVal system and how it can help the students make better choices when they are shopping with their parents.
