Heirloom Squash


I hope you all are enjoying fall as much as we are.  Fall is one of my favorite times of the year.  I love all the fall foods that come with that chill in the air.

Now that my son is old enough to start understanding about cooking, nutrition, whole foods, and herbs, I am having so much fun teaching and showing him just how fun whole foods can be.

One of our local grocery stores had a bunch of organic heirloom squashes, so I let my son pick out a few and here he is showing off one of his favorites, and one of our new favorites to eat; the red kuri.

Making whole foods fun for kids is a great way to encourage them to eat healthy starting at a very young age.  What ways do you make eating whole foods fun for your kids?
