From the Alliance for a Healthier Generation:
Andrea is a Latino mother who adapted her Mexican culture’s traditional recipes with healthy alternatives to honor her ancestors and show her love. Some of Andrea’s quick tips are:
- Take favorite ethnic recipes and make them healthier without sacrificing taste. Instead of frying beans in lard, you can steam them in a slow cooker.
- If you know in your heart that a food isn’t healthy, then avoid feeding it to your child on a regular basis.
Watch Andrea’s story below. Read more about her story and other mother’s stories at the Alliance’s new Be Well Book.
