Michelle Obama: White House Dinner for Kids That Cook

I love the fact that Michelle Obama is just as active in making our country a better place with her "Let's Move Initiative", as our president is trying to change our nation. She is passionate about what she believes in and is an inspiration to working moms everywhere. Her works helps combat childhood obesity at the highest possible level.

She works hard on healthy eating initiatives, especially when it comes to our nations youth. 56 kids were invited to the White House to share their healthy/tasty/affordable recipes, which had to be one of the "coolest" moments of their lives.

Obsessed with Homemade Popsicles

It all started with old overripe bananas that I put in the freezer for "later use". It was a natural progression from making and freezing my own baby food. It was love at first bite....

100 Calorie Comparison Chart

When you eat fruits and vegetables in place of other foods, you get MORE! Why? Because they are high in fiber and water and the volume (per calorie) is greater when compared to other foods. This chart gives you a better idea of how eating certain kinds of food really adds up fast. Not saying you should eat 100 cucumbers instead of a balanced meal, but eating fruits and veggies should be a part of every kids diet.
