Easy Organic Living Challenge #3: Give a Meal a Makeover

Your family’s food should be safe and nutritious because what’s more important than the health of your child? Choosing certified organic food is a simple way to help promote health. You can do it by taking small steps that have a big impact.

Your challenge: This week, prepare a meal for your family that includes at least one organic ingredient.

Directions:

1. Choose one of your favorite family meals to adapt.
2. Identify at least one ingredient from that meal to buy organic.
3. Enjoy making food! Savor the sights, smells, and textures and encourage children too, as well.
