Welcome to day 6 of my 31 Days to Better Health series!

How are you liking it so far?

I am having a blast! Smile

Today, I took some pictures/videos of us making lunch.  I feel that one of the best and easiest ways to get your family eating healthy is by getting your kids involved!  They love eating what they make.  I take my kids shopping with me and I also have them help me in the kitchen all the time!

DAY 6: LET YOUR KIDS HELP IN THE KITCHEN

Today we made tuna sandwiches with a twist!
We made tuna mix with tuna, relish and organic mayo and organic wheat bread.

And here’s the twist… we used cookie cutters for fun! Doesn’t everything taste better when it is shaped like a star?
