Some of these wintery days are just too cold to play outside. How can you still get in plenty of playtime when you're staying inside? Can you make fitness stations in your play area? Can you have a gorilla push up contest? Can you take a deck of cards and assign each number, suit, or color a physical activity? Draw a card and do the assigned activity. Fitness Go Fish! Take pictures or videos of you creating a fun indoor activity and post them to the blog to motivate others to try something new. Or send in instructions for a fun way to play indoors!

Thank you!

What is your favorite healthy snack in the winter time? Fresh fruit is sometimes hard to find when local farmers have frozen fields! So, think about these questions and respond to me with the answers please!

1. What fresh food do you enjoy in the winter time?

2. Where was it grown?

3. Can it grow here in NY in the winter time? Why?

4. If you could grow your own fresh food at your house, what would you grow?

We all grow up enjoying certain smells that escape from the kitchen. Is it a good smell? Mmm, my favorite dinner! I hope so! I would like you and your family to post a reply to this blog entry. Share with the FRES community a favorite healthy recipe your family enjoys. Include all ingredients and steps needed to completely create the dish. Is it Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, special occasion? Does the recipe have a special meaning? What better way to celebrate diversity at Brighton then to share a belly filling recipe that warms the heart?!

Happy Kitchen!
