One of the most rewarding aspects of running a business that provides a service to people in our community is taking on
gratitude through lavish Thanksgiving feasts — has recently been dubbed Good Nutrition Month. But it’s true; now is the time to pay extra attention to the nutrients your body needs to maintain its healthy state through the new year. While mindful eating is a habit families know they should practice year-round, once the holiday season kicks into full gear, it becomes much easier to overlook. With colder weather keeping you inside, the cravings for heartier meals and delicious baked goods leave parents struggling to encourage their picky eaters to consume anything nutritious. If you’re finding it more difficult than usual to convince your child to eat their greens, here are some tips to keep in mind! 1. LET THEM HELP. If your child has grown out of the toddler stage and is still resistant to eating their vegetables, child psychologists say you should have them help with the cooking process. The excitement and anticipation that comes with getting to prepare the vegetables can encourage kids to try a couple bites during dinnertime. 2. CHEESE IT UP! Cheese can undoubtedly make veggies more appealing for your little ones. When making their favorite mac ‘n’ cheese dish, consider adding broccoli and peas to the sauce. The cheese will mask most of the veggie flavor, and your kids won’t care as much! Another option for really picky eaters is to purée vegetables, like sweet potatoes, into the cheese sauce. The bright orange color will mask the inclusion, ensuring your little one gets a good share of fiber-rich nutrients while being none the wiser. 3. GET ‘BEEFY’ WITH YOUR VEGGIES. If your kids are fans of meat-based pasta sauces, meatballs, or sloppy Joes, you can substitute some of the ground beef with finely chopped mushrooms. Since the meaty texture of the tasty fungi is similar to ground beef, it’ll be hard for kids to notice the difference. Riced cauliflower can also be mistaken for tender ground beef when cooked in darker sauces and gravies. While it can be frustrating to negotiate with a picky eater, especially during the holidays, don’t lose hope. Try out these three tasty tips and observe Good Nutrition Month with a little more ease.
new challenges. No matter who you are or what your story is, you’ve likely faced several of your own challenges head on. While no one can escape life’s curveballs, everyone has their own approach to conquer them. Here at Janet Davis Cleaners, we meet with several clients who have exquisite garments or delicate vintage items they need cleaned. Keeping in mind the limits to the services we can offer, we view these challenges as a wonderful opportunity to help preserve a client’s heartfelt item and help our team’s ability to grow! In recent months, we met with two clients who asked us to clean some very important items: their wedding dresses. Check out their stories below! “I really wanted to wear my mother’s wedding gown for my own wedding, but several decades after my mother originally wore it, it had NEVER been cleaned. Because the dress was 52 years old, my mom and I took her delicate and vintage dress to Janet Davis Cleaners and waited with bated breath. After looking the dress over, they did not guarantee the dress would survive the cleaning process. But, when it came out on the other side, it was definitely worth the stress of not knowing. Janet Davis Cleaners can work miracles, but be sure to give them the time they need to work on delicate projects!” –Kate C. “If I had to describe my experience working with Janet Davis Cleaners in one word, it’d be ‘amazing!’ I was a huge procrastinator when it came to cleaning my wedding gown. In fact, I did not take it in until seven months after the wedding. Looking at it, you can tell I had a great time at my wedding. With its numerous stains (including spray tan) and a rip in the train from dancing the night away, I thought all hope was lost for restoring this gorgeous dress. Needless to say, Janet Davis saved it: every stain gone, the rip repaired. It literally looks brand new and back to its original color. The price is 100% worth it!”
