Recipe for String Cheese "Slaw"


(Family Features) - Chips and a soft drink may be a convenient after school snack, but it doesn't do the body any good. Believe it or not, there are snack options that not only do the body - and the brain - some good, but they taste good, too.

Omega-3s are fats essential to brain development and continued brain health, vision, prevention of cardiovascular disease, and normal growth and development throughout childhood. However, they are not produced in the body, nor are they found in many foods. Fatty fish are an excellent source off omega-3s, but fatty fish are not on most kids' after school snack menus. However, there are other sources of omega-3s, such as Omega-3 Milk from Organic Valley.

"Adding milk high in omega-3s to our daily diet is a simple, practical way to promote life-long health, and it is especially important for families with young children. Omega-3s are essential building blocks for infants and children as they grow and their brains develop," said Dr. Charles Benbrook, chief scientist of The Organic Center.

With Omega-3 milk, Organic Valley complements its pasture-based organic milk-which already contains elevated levels of the naturally-occurring ALA Omega-3-with DHA and EPA, two other Omega-3 fatty acids extracted from sustainably-sourced fish oil. Each glass delivers complete Omega-3 nutrition.

For a mouth-pleasing, brain-boosting after school snack, try serving up some of this fun String Cheese "Slaw" with a tall glass of Omega-3 milk. It may just turn chips into a snack of the past.

Reconnecting Families, One Meal at a Time

(Family Features) - If busy schedules and digital distractions are getting in the way of family time, help is on the way. Unilever, maker of many leading food brands, recently unveiled The Family Dish, a program aimed at helping busy families discover the joys of cooking together.

Anna Marie Cesario and Lauren Dellabella, experts from the Unilever Consumer Kitchens, agree that cooking is a great creative outlet, and that the simple acts of mixing and measuring together can lead to amazing conversations and memories that last a lifetime. Their advice is:

Get Them to Plug Into You. Make the experience as meaningful as possible by designating the kitchen as a "technology-light" zone. Have them use their laptop or Smartphone to access favorite recipes, but no texting allowed. This is your chance to simply cook, connect and spend quality time together.

Redefine Text(ing). Demonstrate the basics by cooking alongside them. Start by teaching them to read a recipe all the way through. Show them the importance of paying attention to measuring and the difference between ingredients. And, be sure to touch on the importance of food safety with hand washing and proper handling of raw foods such as eggs, meat and poultry.

Celebrate Success. Encourage and celebrate their culinary creations and remember it's the effort, not the outcome that's important. Remember that even the simplest of time spent together in the kitchen can turn into the best of memories ... and good food!

These easy-to-prepare recipes, from Unilever Consumer Kitchens, are designed to help families save time and money using quality staples likely already in their pantries. For information and inspiration, www.TheFamilyDish.com has tips, time-saving family-friendly recipes, and videos of real moms cooking with their families.
