Nutrition night

Thanks for all who came to our class on Nutrition last night. Erin did an excellent job teaching us about good health. We learned how to properly feed our families, infants, nutrition during pregnancy, proper steps for weight loss and how to eat healthy and follow the Canadian Food guide. It was really fun and a big thanks to Erin for her time. Erin gave us a recipe that is her families favorite and is very healthy and quick to make. I will post it and I have a favorite that I will post as well. If any of you have a healthy meal that you want to share you can contact me and I will post it on our site.

7 seas Casserole

2 cans of cream of mushroom soup
2 2/3 cup water
1 t lemon juice
1/4 t salt
1/8 t pepper
2 2/3 c minute rice

Mix soup, water, lemon juice, salt and pepper in pot and bring to boil. Pour 1/2 soup mixture in bottom of casserole dish. Alternate 3 layers of rice, peas, tuna. Poor remaining soup over rice. Cover with 1 c cheese. Bake 350 degrees for 20 min. After 10 min take out and stir.

Spinach Smoothie ( Shrek drink)

Blender full of fresh spinach
16 ice cubes
3/4 cup of soy milk ( I use regular milk if I don't have soy)
1 frozen banana
1/4 can of frozen pineapple juice.

This is a bright green smoothie and if I tell me kids it is a Shrek drink they drink it no problem. They actually love them and have them all the time. They taste so good.

We will keep the days the same every month so you will always know what to plan on. Make sure you also grab a calendar in one of the enrichment binders so you can post it on your fridge or somewhere to keep the dates handy.
