March is Bake and Take Month!
|
|
|
Bake and Take Month is an invitation for bakers of all ages to embrace the community spirit of baking. Bake and Take Day, celebrated annually on the fourth Saturday in March, is a great opportunity for families and service groups to get together in the kitchen and around the oven. Prepare gifts of fresh-baked wheat foods for relatives, friends, co-workers, neighbors, the elderly and shut-ins. The visit when you deliver the baked goods is one of the most enjoyable aspects! Mark the date on your calendar and plan to participate.

Plan Your Whole Grain Sampling Day Activity!
Whole Grain Sampling Day (WGSD) is an annual event held the first Wednesday in April (this year, April 1, 2015) that has just one goal: to get as many people as possible to try more whole grains! Whether you promote whole grains in the classroom, by educating on the importance of whole grains or sharing whole grain snacks, or at home, by making whole grain recipes (such as Multi Grain Corn Flour Waffles or Whole Wheat Zucchini-Nut Bread) and modeling healthy eating behaviors, any activities that encourage whole grains are welcome!
Check out all of the resources for WGSD 2015, from downloadable brochures and handouts about whole grains, to a Whole Grain Grocery Store Tour Kit, to Whole Grain Trivia Contest Kit, to a database of sample Tweets for WGSD.
Need more information? Contact Kelly Toups, RD at the Whole Grains Council (Kelly@oldwayspt.org, or 617-896-4884).

How to Teach Nutrition to Kids - Bringing kids into the kitchen and around the dinner table is easiest when you begin young. They’ll want to help and you need to train good hands. Don’t mention this plus: kids “groove” the #1 Nutrition Guideline: eat a wide variety of foods, something you cannot force a child to do. The secret works like magic: cook and bake with them…often. Keep the desirable food in the picture (don’t give up), trying different preparations with the young chef involved.
This Nutrition Month, the Home Baking Association’s newest Writer’s Guild author Connie Evers, MS, RDN, CSSD, LD, a Board Certified Sports Science and Pediatric Dietitian. Connie offers ten tips for Cooking with Kids— as well as excerpts from the latest edition of her book How to Teach Nutrition to Kids. View Nutrition for Kids: It Starts In the Kitchen download.
 See why HBA’s members loved baking Connie’s Butternut Softies, decorating them a gazillion different ways before eating them GONE. Try her family favorite energy bar too!
