Autumn Harvest Pasta Recipe Alert!

Warm up your dinner table with this cozy, nutritious fall favorite Autumn Harvest Pasta! Think comfort, flavor, and health all in one.

Why pumpkin’s great for you!

Pumpkin isn’t just festive, it’s seriously nutritious!
It’s loaded with micronutrients like beta-carotene (which your body converts to vitamin A), vitamin C, and vitamin E, supporting your immune system and overall health.
It contains plenty of fiber and is low in calories, which helps with digestion and keeps you feeling full for longer.
The antioxidants in pumpkin support eye health, skin health, and may aid in maintaining healthy blood pressure.

Quick recipe highlights
Whole-wheat pasta for added fiber and nutrition
Spinach for a boost of iron and greens
Olive oil, onion, garlic for flavor (and more good nutrients)

The beginning of fall is here, and that means it’s time for some fun outdoor movement!

One of the best ways to exercise this season is by turning a simple walk into a Leaf Scavenger Hunt. Not only will you get your steps in, but you’ll also enjoy the crisp air, colorful trees, and family fun along the way.

Download the Leaf Scavenger Hunt Worksheet below, head outside, and see how many leaves you can spot! It’s a playful way to get moving while soaking in the beauty of fall.

Remember, every step counts toward healthier habits. Why not make it fun!

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of observing the Martin County Cooperative Extension Try Healthy program in action with Smiling Faces Daycare, and it was truly a joyful and inspiring experience!

The children were excited as they made smoothies using the blender bike! A fun and interactive way to connect physical activity with healthy eating. They quickly caught on to the message that moving your body and eating nutritious foods can help keep you strong and protect you from getting sick.

They also had a blast sampling a variety of fruits and trying a flavorful veggie stir-fry. Many were eager to taste new things and talk about their favorites!

A special shoutout to Jean Brownfield, who led the lesson with energy and creativity. Her engaging style made learning about health fun, and it was clear the kids were fully engaged and soaking in every moment.

This is what Try Healthy is all about. Empowering our youngest learners to build healthy habits for a lifetime! 💚🍓🥦🚲
