Following the South Beach Diet but your family isn’t? No worries! Just get them involved in the healthy cooking and preparation of meals. Preparing and cooking nutritious meals together will not only benefit you but also help your family develop healthy eating habits. It also doesn’t hurt to have an extra set of hands in the kitchen! Plus, you’ll be making memories as you spend quality time with your family. Don’t forget to take advantage of the fall season’s flavorful and colorful produce, including bok choy, broccoli, cabbage, spaghetti squash, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, pears, grapes, cranberries, and apples, and try to incorporate them into your meals.
