We all need help to be smart about food. Whether you have kids with allergies, diabetes, obesity, or just need to brush up on the latest food trends, if you’re reading this blog you are part of a community of parents who care about raising kids healthy and happy with food. This is why I love the website Smart Foods Healthy Kids. Started by Kelly Corbet (she calls herself the CEO/Chief of Belief), a environmental policy Harvard-educated mom of two (one with food allergies), the SFHK team is a group of passionate, health-minded people with the littlest eaters in mind.
SFHK covers all aspects of nutrition for kids. For kids with allergies and intolerances, check out their resource page, run by Robin O’Brien of Allergy Kids. There are great video and audio classes with recipes and information about nutrition and food trends. I’ve been using their recipe bank at least once a week, and my girls love the simple recipes that they can even help me prepare. What I really look forward to is their free weekly enewsletter, highlighting a healthy tidbit for you and your kids. Information such as the organic “dirty dozen” and “cleanest 12″ foods to help save your wallet at the organic market - and help you build a healthier kitchen.
