| Can I just say, Mikee doesn't look a day over 30. So fresh! |
Ms. Callanta also added that proper nutrition is needed-the right levels of nutrients and vitamins, but when The threat of Diet Shift strikes, it creates gaps in nutrition. That is why, it is essential at this stage to supplement at-risk nutrients in the child's diet and nutrition.

| Vegan Burger- Made from soy and grains with rice pilaff served w/ vegetable sticks and dips |
 |
| Very Berry Pops- Cake Pops made from camote cake and berries | Kiddie Canapes- Whole wheat bread with cheese, veggies and grilled or baked fish and chicken cut and sliced in interesting shapes. :) |
With all that being said, we mothers realized that in order for us to teach our children to eat healthy, we must understand why the unhealthy foods appeal to them in the first place. After the talk about The Diet Shift, we were taught by Celebrity Chef Jackie Laudico of Bistro Filipino on how to make healthy meals more enjoyable for kids to eat. :)
She demonstrated to us how to make different shapes with food using cookie cutters. Like the ones you see above, she turned rice into a dolphin and who knew camote can be turned into an attractive cake pop??? Amazing right?? I got Athan to eat this!:)

| Our kits! |
The nice thing about the demonstration was we also got to try making our own "kid-friendly dish" :) My good friend Niche and Athan are ready for their sandwich!:)
Not as appealing. But this is what I came up with!:) Haha!:)) Chef Laudico mentioned to us that the food's visual appeal helps in getting the attention of kids and eventually they would be willing to taste the healthy snack. :) Meal time should be a fun time for you and your kids. :)

Athan's drinking a different milk right now but I'm seriously considering Aqiva as a replacement. because in all honesty, he doesn't like his latest milk (that will mot be named here).=P At least with Aqiva, I can try it out knowing the benefits already. :)
