Stir frying is a healthy cooking method that we recommend for use in the CACFP! Try out a flavorful recipe from USDA Team Nutrition that is packed with nutrients. For other ideas on how to prepare your meals, we've got some resources on healthy cooking methods and simple ways to start incorporating healthy eating habits.
It's important to have variety in the foods that we put into our bodies. Building Healthy Bodies with the Food We Serve is a deeper dive into that concept, and you'll learn the function of key macronutrients, micronutrients, vitamins and minerals, as well as what foods you can serve to best nourish growing bodies.
If you've got an amazing idea for a workshop, shop talk or training academy for the National Child Nutrition Conference, don't keep it to yourself! Submit your proposal to present in April and join the CACFP, Afterschool Meals and Summer Food communities in Orlando.
Do you know providers who have not yet signed up for the CACFP? Forward this email or share these links to help spread the word about how they can start getting reimbursed for the healthy meals and snacks that they might already be serving.
