What

With school underway and
hungry kids on the go, what every
one needs is some new ideas for
schoo] Junches and snacks!

Demand for information on
planning school lunches and
snacks is an annval event. Every
year, parenls become desperate
for a way to make nutritious
foods delicious and appealing to
their kids.

This year they've had a lot of
assistance from two wonderful
new resources:

The first is Anne Lindsay's
Lighthearted Everyday Cook-
book. Her previous books have
been terrific, but this one tops
them all with its practical, easy,
and fast recipes. In her introduc-
tions, she discusses packed lun-
ches and snacks, Her advice is
sound. The recipe below is from
her book.

The other is a new resource on
Lunches to Go, It is packed with
lunch ideas that kids love, like
string cheese, burritos, and new
suggestions for that old standby
— the sandwich. If your lunch

imaginations get stumped, phone
the Skeena Health Unit for a copy
of Lunches fo Go.

Planning the contents of your
lunch bag is very similar to plan-
ning the contents of a meal: chose
from a varlety of nutritious foods.
This goes for snacks as well.

History has proven the value of
the Terrace Downtown Lions |
Club. , ;

In existance in Terrace since
1959, the club bas grown and
changed over the years.

The Downtown Lions has been
active in supporting many local
projects. The Agar Avenue Park,
Kalum Tennis Courts and Thom-
hill Fall Fair Grounds were
declared as parks grounds

through the work of the Lions.

to do about

After all, a snack is really a mini-
meal that contributes to our nutri-
tion. It docsn’t need to be a treat

every time,

So you've tried that, and you’ve
discovered that your litile rascal
is tossing the bag and buying pop
and chips instead. Now what do

you do?

The answer is to involve your
children in making their own lun-
ches and snacks. If they put the

clfort out 1o plan and/or make it,
it’s more likely to fill their tam-

mies rather than the trash bins.

Sit down with them and have
them practise planning lunches
and snacks, They can choose the
foods they like best. Give them
the guideline that they must in-
clude at least one choice from
each of the four food groups in
their lunch, and that snacks
should also be chosen from one

or two of the food groups.

You might want to allow them
to plan for a couple of snacks a

week that defy all the principles
of good nutrition! ;

Kids need your help in choos-
ing foods that meet these
guidelines, that are within your
budget, and that can be packed
safely and casily.

Teenage children can learn
financial lessons if you give them
a grocery allowance for their
lunch choices, and take them with
you shopping. They'll soon real-
ize that nutritious foods will leave
them with change in their pock-
ets, while the "junk" leaves them
with nothing.

Tf lunch planning becomes a
batileground between you and
your child, call a cease-fire and
run to your nearest bookstore for
Ellyn Satter’s classic book on
How To Get Your Kid To
Eat. But Not Too

Much. Satter’s warm and
humorous way of explaining why
food battles happen, and what
you can do about it, is a must on

kids

any parent’s shelf. I highly

_ recommend it. You can order it

using ISBN # 0-915950-83-9.
Here's a snack idea from Anne
Lindsay’s Lighthearted Everyday
Cookbook”. These muffins are a
good source of fibre and iron.
Serve with a slice of low fat
cheese like edam or part skim
mozzarella and you’ve got a
nutritious and delicious snack!
