Host a "taste test" night where your family can try different fruits and veggies together and vote on favorites. 🍅🥒 This can encourage babies and toddlers to try new foods. And you get the bonus of spending some quality time together!

What would you sample with your little ones on a taste test night? Visit https://kpchc.org/services/wic/ to learn more about WIC!

Family meals can be as easy as 1, 2, 3: One fresh item such as meat or poultry, one frozen item such as a heat-and-eat pasta and one canned item such as a vegetable and VOILA. Dinner is served!

September is family meals month, and WIC encourages you to eat with family and friends. More family meals mean more fruits and vegetables consumed!
