Nutrition and Healthy Eating
Dine on a dime: Using canned veggies
You know that encouraging your children to eat vegetables is important because it is part of a healthy diet. But sometimes the cost of fresh produce limits our options (especially when you want to buy veggies outside of their growing season). Canned vegetables have just as much nutritional value as fresh produce and are much more affordable- plus they can be easily added to many kid-friendly dishes. When you buy canned options, watch for veggies with added sodium (used to make them last longer but in large amounts is not so healthy), and rinse and drain the veggies before you use them.

Try these easy ways to use canned veggies:
• Tomatoes are great to add to soups, sauces, or chili
• Add a can of sweet corn and diced green chilis to your tacos or salsa
• Toss peas into macaroni and cheese, salad, casserole, or add to a stir-fry
• Diced carrots can be added into a salad or used in soups
• Chopped onions can be added to any recipe and won’t make your eyes water!
