Happy Fall Harvest!
It's autumn, back to school, regular routines, cool, crisp mornings, and harvest time – the fall season is upon us.
Your WIC Nutritionists are here for you in all seasons – to answer your questions about eating during pregnancy, to offer support around breastfeeding, ideas for picky eaters and making mealtimes easier.
Your local WIC office offers Nutrition Activities each month. These give you a chance to meet other families, try a new food, or get a recipe that your family will love!
St. Albans Nutritionists have fun celebrating the fall harvest!
REMEMBER TO USE YOUR FARM TO FAMILY COUPONS!
Have you used all of your Farm to Family coupons? Remember to visit the farmers' market before October when many markets close. Stock up on the fall harvest, including apples, beets, carrots and broccoli.
DOES YOUR BABY DRINK FORMULA?
From Leftovers to Lunch
Using leftovers can be an easy and delicious way to save money! This blog post from ChopChop magazine has great tips on how to pack a flavorful and budget-friendly lunch. Each recipe idea is for the whole family to enjoy –whether being packed for work or preschool!
PICK YOUR OWN APPLES
Apples are a simple, sweet fruit and are ready to be picked in September. There are many different varieties from Cortland to Spartan. Going to a local orchard is a great way to spend time together as a family. Apples can be enjoyed in a variety of recipes, or on their own for a quick and yummy snack!
