Now that summer is here, kids are likely eating most meals at home.
If you’re concerned about your children eating healthy, or simply getting enough food, this is for you.
Neftali Duran is part of a national campaign through Share Our Strength called “Cooking Matters” that educates families how to shop and cook healthy meals on a tight budget.
When going to the grocery store, Duran suggests making a grocery list ahead of time on your phone (so you don’t forget it). He also suggests not going to the grocery store on an empty stomach. If possible, he says leave the kids at home so they aren’t asking for extra items.
For the healthiest food options, you’ll want to shop around the perimeter of the store. That’s where you’ll find fruits, veggies, milk, meat and eggs.
Make sure you’re shopping fruits and veggies that are in season
