Apples are one of the hallmark symbols of fall, because of their peak picking season between August and October. Apples have amazing amounts of soluble fiber which is good for digestion and disease prevention, and also contain vitamin C which strengthens the immune system. Although types of apples look and taste very differently, there are very small differences in nutrient quality between them. Next time you’re at the orchard or grocery store, use the link below to find a list (published by the American Heart Association) that will help distinguish each apple.
Preparing apples can be fun and easy; it is one of the most versatile foods because you can cook, bake, or eat it plain. When fresh, they can last up to 8 weeks in the fridge. See the infographic and link below for tips and ideas on how to use your fall stash of apples!

Almost every parent wishes their kid(s) would eat more fruits and veggies, but it’s a task that is far more difficult than throwing carrots on the plate each meal. The drama that ensues when a child sees a colorful piece of produce is enough to shut down the house. To get through these picky phases while getting enough vitamins, minerals, and fiber, it is helpful to sneak fruits and veggies into foods children already like. Don’t be afraid to try foods time and time again, even if they make a fuss, because it takes up to 15 exposures to develop a taste for certain flavors and textures. Who doesn’t love mac & cheese or meatballs? Have you tried adding some veggies into these dishes before? Check out this link to find great ideas for first-steps at adding more veggies into your child’s (or your own) diet: https://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/cooking-tips-techniques/how-to-eat-more-vegetables

Although historically a culturally Hispanic dish, it might surprise you that nachos were first created in the 1940’s in Mexico for Americans as a quick and easy snack. Now, this dish has been adapted to serve many types of cuisines on a bed of crunchy handheld foods – anything from tortillas to potatoes, and maybe a healthier version using some veggies. There’s no better to time to celebrate this tasty, innovative, and cross-cultural meal than on November 6, National Nacho Day!
