Succotash is an American side dish that celebrates springtime’s bounty of vegetables. It is extremely flexible and ingredients can be swapped out for other ingredients. It pairs well with grilled chicken or fish. Here, we have used edamame in place of, originally, Lima beans and topped it over grilled salmon.

Paccheri Pasta with Roasted Tomatoes, Onion, Olives, and Feta 🍅🧅🫒🍝

Paccheri, a large cylindrical shaped pasta, perfectly absorbs flavors and sauces and blends with any ingredient. Here we use multicolor Heirloom tomatoes, red onion, olives, feta and a touch of Arrabiata sauce. This combination offers a flavorful dish with Greek influence and a little kick of spice.

Your RDN Super Bowl Eating Tips: 🏈🥑🍎🥗🕐

1. Stick with a regular meal schedule.

Eat breakfast and lunch during the day before the game. This helps keep you feeling satisfied and prevents you from overeating and mindlessly eating during the game.

2. Get your own exercise on game day. Go for a walk or do a gentle yoga.

3. Scan your options before plating your plate. Choose fiber rich grains, fruits, and vegetables, protein, and healthy fats for a variety of nutrients and color.

4. Prepare some healthy snacks such as guacamole with whole grain chips or crackers, hummus and veggies, salsa made with tomato, onion, cilantro and lime, roasted chickpeas, fresh fruit with honey or vanilla Greek yogurt dip, and roasted cauliflower with Tahini sauce (visit our website for recipe: https://www.nutritionist4you.com/vegetables).

5. Pace your eating throughout the game. Take breaks before taking seconds. Check in with your hunger and fullness cues to avoid overeating.

6. 3 D’s - Delay, Dilute, Don’t! Delay drinking alcoholic beverages.

Dilute your alcohol with diet soda, soda water, or drink water between alcoholic beverages.

Don’t! be the designated driver and don’t drink or at some point during the game stop drinking alcoholic beverages.

7. Enjoy the game! Focus on spending time with friends.

Probably the number 1 complaint that we hear from parents is that their children don’t eat many (if any) vegetables. 🤔

Well, that’s pretty normal. 😅 By comparison, fruits are much sweeter and most kids therefore prefer fruits over vegetables. 🍎 > 🥦

We see too often that fruit is labeled as “less healthy” than vegetables, but this isn’t accurate. ✅ There is no need to fear fruit.

Because of their similar vitamin, mineral, fiber and antioxidant profile, you can be rest assured that giving your kids fruit is a nutritious choice. ✅

That’s not to say that you can’t continue to offer your kids vegetables, even if they aren’t interested in eating them yet. Continue to offer a variety, just like you would any other food. 👍
