Nutrition - Food Groups Pyramid Recipes

Contributed by Teachers.Net Readers


Pyramid Kabob

After studying the food pyramid, we do a pyramid kabob using one food from each group on a stick. We use cheese cubes, a piece of fruit, piece of a vegetable, small cube of ham, and a bread cube for the grains. We top it off with a mini marshmallow for the fats.

Pizzas on English Muffins

I've done pizzas on English muffins. You can also visit a farm or farmer's market to get veggies. We borrowed bread makers and made a salad and made a vegetable soup in a Visions pot (transparent so the kids can see how the heat makes the vegetables move). I just put my "fifth burner" on a counter where they could see it, but not easily touch it. I've been lucky to have parents who guard the cooking area. Add a rock and you can call it "Stone Soup."
-Nancy Wise


Ants on a Log

Ants on a log: celery sticks, filled with cream cheese or peanut butter, raisins dotted on top to look like ants. Or make tacos and that's every food group but the sweets.
-Joan Maywalt
