Fish + Benefits

We have been reading a lot in the last few years about about the benefits of eating fish. For children, fish provides them with the necessary vitamins and nutrients necessary for healthy vision and brain development. The Omega 3 fish oils also aid in healthy adrenal gland functions. 

This week, we have a fish for toddlers (10 mos+) and KIDS.  Check out the Tilapia or Wild Salmon Fish Cakes for KIDS and the Fish, Sweet Potato + Carrots for toddlers.  A little something for everyone. 

Fruit Compote is also on the menu this week.  This is an excellent source of iron (prunes, raisins + apricots) and tastes great in plain FAGE yogurt or as a sweetener in a bowl of oatmeal or cream of wheat.

Sesame Chicken Stir Fry: A KIDS favorite.  This is a great finger food for toddlers and has all the vegetables and protein a child needs in one meal. We love this in our house.
