Healthy F.H.E.

Tonight, at the request of one of my doctors, we had a family home evening lesson on healthy eating.  Each child (and grownup) was assigned a vegetable to research, and present to the family the health benefits of that specific veggie.  Austin had carrots, I had green beans, Ember had cucumbers, Ben had zucchini, and Grace had broccoli.  We had a sample of each vegetable cooked different ways (raw, boiled, steamed, sauted) and each kid had to eat a plate full of veggies before we were allowed to dish out the lasagna.  The night was a huge success, and because the kids did the research themselves, they were excited to eat their own vegetable!  Maybe somebody has a new favorite, or a new appreciation for healthy eating.  What a fun and healthy night!
(Ben learned that zucchini helps in the production of sex hormones... I'm just sayin').
