Getting our children to eat healthy foods is a priority for all moms. What foods to serve and how to prepare them can be challenging.
UrbanMoms was so excited when we were approached by our friends at California Leafy Greens to review some of their great recipes. Leafy greens are an excellent source of Vitamin K which is needed for proper bone formation and blood clotting, in both cases by helping the body transport calcium. Dark leafy greens like spinach, kale, and arugula contain a goldmine of vitamins, minerals and plant compounds that fight disease, including heart disease and cancer. All things necessary for children and adults alike.
Over the next two weeks you will have two opportunities to enter the contest to win a Leafy Green gift basket.
Week 1: Recipe review of Butter Lettuce Bundles with Thai Avocado, Tomato and Mango Salad.
Week 2: Recipe review of Baked Kale Chips Spiked with Chili Parmesan Garlic Salt
