HAPPYFAMILY cooking class  Wednesday, March 11th at 6:30pm at Whole Foods Market, 6930 South Highland Drive

Admission is free and participants will receive a coupon for a complimentary box of any of HappyFamily’s products, valid at all Whole Food stores

Learn how to create an easy, nutritious and tasty meal for baby, using healthy, all-natural ingredients. Our goal is to change how baby food is perceived, from a taste, color and nutrient perspective and to change the perception that only jarred food is convenient. We want to encourage parents to ‘think outside the jar’ and feed their babies fresh organic foods that will shape young tastes for life. To that end, participants in this class will learn how to make two of our most popular and most nutritious baby meals. Rose Maizner, Community Marketing Specialist for HappyFamily, will also provide a brief presentation on nutrition, including tips and hints from the experts, more recipe ideas and suggestions for how to get the whole family excited about healthy eating. For all the big kids in attendance (parents included!!), we’ll also have some healthy snacks on hand that were made using the baby meals we’ll be making in class. Finally, we’ll also be giving away our HappyFamily Nutrition Manuals, written and endorsed by renowned pediatrician Dr. Robert Sears.

To sign up: call Rose at (801)560-3843 or Whole Foods at (801)733-9455

We had a show ready with a doctor discussing the history of vaccines and why it is important to get educated on the strengths and issues with vaccines.  Your child can be at serious risk for diseases you’ve never heard of.

However, we have decided to put off this show because of the VERY heated debate and issues going on due to the recent Court Case against parents who think vaccinations cause Autism.  People in the medical and media communities have been receiving death threats.  We want the time of terror to die down and let calm heads prevail before we have this discussion.   So look for it in the future.

Sorry that this show  has to be delayed, but we’d like the hysteria to pass first.  For more information on vaccines in general, see www.immun-wize.org.

Give up the idea of convincing your toddler to eat only veggies and stay away.  It only backfires in the long run says Expert EllynSatter.  Her 40 years of research uncover a unique look at what she calls the Division of Feeding that breaks the cycle of issues with food and helps you and your child learn to enjoy food again.   Check out her site for great articles and links to her books (I love Your Child’s Weight: Helping without Hurting even though my kids don’t have eating issues because it taught me how NOT to create issues with them).
