Rachael Ray's Non-profit Organization Yum-o!

Yum-o! and Rachael have teamed up with our partners at the Alliance for a Healthier Generation to provide nutritious and delicious recipes that will be cooked and served in school cafeterias nationwide! In this month’s Road Map, we’re sharing one of our faves that you can try in your own kitchen, along with tips to help you start talking about healthy food choices and physical activity at school.

This month, we’re taking the freshest of ingredients and incorporating them into an easy, no-cook recipe that works well as a salad or a side. Along with the other veggies in this dish, fresh, raw corn gives this recipe a natural sweetness and a pop of color. We’ve also got some tips for helping your kids build and stick with a simple routine to get at least nine hours of sleep each night.

The wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables available in the summertime is as colorful as 4th of July fireworks! This month’s salad combines both, with oranges and asparagus in a punch of color and a burst of flavor. We’ve also included tips from our friends at the Alliance for a Healthier Generation to help your kids – and you! – explore new fruits and veggies this summer and beyond.

This month’s noodle dish uses citrus in a unique way, combining limes with fresh herbs and honey. Plus, with summer fast approaching, we’ve included tips from our friends at the Alliance for a Healthier Generation to help you take advantage of the warmer weather and time off with ideas for balancing screen time with activity time for your family.

Fresh herbs are starting to pop up in gardens everywhere this month, so we’re sharing a pasta recipe flavored with fresh rosemary, garlic and flat leaf parsley that also has chickpeas blended right into the sauce – perfect for picky eaters, and downright delicious for everyone! We’ve also included tips to help you get good-for-you foods incorporated into meals that the whole family will enjoy.
