Make Family Dinner Healthy Again. Hy-Vee Shows You How

I'm sure I'm not alone in looking forward to the start of school.  I'm a routine kind of person, so when I'm out of my routine I feel off.  Like I can't get anything accomplished.  School bedtimes and (most importantly) wake times get me and my family back on track.

Now we can settle into our routine of eating a healthy meal each night at the dinner table.  If we only knew how to do that!

Good news! Hy-Vee Dietitians are hosting Healthy Back-to-School events for families in August!
