IT takes time and thought, but when we do it, we invest in their health and well-being!

And at the same time, we invest in our peace of mind.

Big corporations don’t care about the healthy diet of our young ones. They only care about profit, and that is why they target our children with billions of dollars worth of advertising.

Do we, as a parent, care to feed our children well!

Commitment is the name of the game—a lifetime commitment. Give them a good foundation, and they will build on it in later years. And don’t settle for less. The system wants to mold us in a certain way, so it can do whatever it wants with us, and it is powerful. Just like salmon, we have to swim against the current, to shape our children’s taste buds to crave and love real and healthy food.

IT IS THE PARENTS RESPONSIBILITY TO FEED  THE CHILDER WELL!

We live in a time in which we have no lack of knowledge; instead, we have an abundance of information on any subject, in fact, more than we can process, and all so readily available! Our global village has many advantages. We can have beautiful products and herbs and spices from the four corners of this fantastic planet, right on our doorstep. The only thing we have to do is be adventurous enough to learn about other cultures and what they love to eat!

There is so much value in other cultures. If we open our hearts and minds, we can have fun experimenting with meals from different countries. Let me share with you what I used to do in my early years: I would read through books and magazines for recipes. Based on a recipe’s ingredients, I could understand if I would like it or not, so, on shopping day, I would get the ingredients and, at some point during the week, make my new recipe. If I liked it, I added it to my little box of recipes that week; if not, no harm was done, but, at least, I knew I had explored something new.

So dear friends, don’t panic! It’s not so difficult—you need to be organized, and by that I mean you should plan ahead and make sure you have your ingredients available. Then it will be a joy to prepare tasty meals “from scratch” that the family will enjoy. Feed the children well!

Along with good organization, our love and self-sacrificing spirit will help us in doing what is beneficial for our loved ones.

Just start with an afternoon or an evening during the week. Prepare a healthy soup with vegetables and legumes from scratch, put something in the oven that you can forget about while it cooks, and make a beautiful salad—I love a Greek salad with sweet juicy tomatoes, real Greek feta cheese, some of that versatile olive oil, mmm—and before you know it, you have meals ready for two or three days.

Here’s to all of you who put your children first—believe me, you will be blessed for feeding the children well!
