Feeding our families shouldn’t feel like walking through a minefield. When we’re not navigating the grocery store shelves, or trying to decipher the confusing or misleading food labels, we’re navigating the classroom party full of sugary offerings, the after-school activity (with snack, of course), or the playdate where they’re giving out juice boxes and fruit snacks like, well, candy!
