Tweet With Us About Hosting a Healthy Dinner Party!

Healthy Child

Tuesday, April 13, 2010

Our Healthy Home Party Kits have been a big success. Moms across the country are hosting parties and educating their family, friends, and neighbors about creating cleaner, greener, safer environments for children. Join us on Thursday, April 15th, at 6 pm PST/9 pm EST to learn how to host a party, tweet with others who have, or ask any unanswered questions from a past party you hosted.

Since this month we’re focusing on food, we’ll also be discussing ideas for turning your Healthy Home Party into a meal! Inspire your friends by serving healthy appetizers and drinks, challenge your friends to each bring a dish made from scratch, or have an intimate dinner party.

Our guests this week are Wendy Allen and Kate Shillin from Organic Valley. Organic Valley is not only a brand, they also created Earth Dinner, an event initiated in 2003 to celebrate Earth Day by eating one sustainable meal.

According to their site, “Earth Dinner is an opportunity for you to explore – at least for one night each year – where each ingredient on your table comes from. Who grew the food? How was it grown? What is the geographic origin of the food? Those seem like some pretty serious questions, so to lighten the mood, we developed fun tools to inspire dinner guests to tell their own food stories, to remember the farmers who lovingly care for the land and grow the food, and of course, to be a little silly with friends and family and have a lot of fun in the process. The Earth Dinner is a joyful, animated, and inspiring theme dinner party held at least once every year, connecting people to the earth, their food, and each other. It can be as planned or as spontaneous as you like.”

Join us Thursday, April 15th at 6 PST/9EST to talk about hosting Healthy Home Parties with a foodie twist! Share your stories and tips, and learn from everyone else’s.   Get up to speed on healthy eating by reading Chapter 3 – A Clean Plate – of the Healthy Child Book!
