| Greetings!
It's back to school time and the kids are packing their snacks and lunches. Read our "Go Back with a Healthy Snack" for ideas on what to pack. Come join the FFI team and run (or walk) the Littleton Road Race on Sept. 26th. Ladies, the early morning boot camp starts up again on Sept 8th. Be sure to sign up for our last boot camp of this year on the field.
We have an abundant supply of zucchini,squash and eggplant from our garden. I came across the recipe below to make use of our harvest and my family loved it. Try it and see if your family does too. |

Go Back with a Healthy Snack
Pack a Healthy Snack Each Day
With the kids starting back to school this week, start the school year off with a commitment to send a healthy snack each day.
Involve your kids in choosing and packing the healthy snacks and they are more likely to eat them. Here are some ideas for kid-tested and heart-approved snacks.
- Dip graham crackers or fresh fruit in fat free yogurt.
- Top celery, apples or bananas with peanut butter.
- Dip baby carrots or other raw fruit with fat free ranch dressing.
- Fat free pudding
- Lunch box size apples are great - better yet, go pick your own apples at one of the local orchards. You will get some exercise and have some family fun while picking your apples.
My favorite orchard is Shelburne Farm in Stow, MA.
Teachers will be grateful to see the kids eating healthy snacks. There is less chance of the kids having the dreaded sugar high and not being able to concentrate.
