Kaehren Fostering Academics Through Good Nuirition (NAPSA)—Now that school is in session, kids need to concentrate on their studies. One of the best ways to help children do that is by making sure they have a lesson in good nutrition. Parents can encourage young- sters to eat well by teaching them about hearty, good-for-them meals that are easy to create—either after school or for a family dinner. Beans, a staple of Tex-Mex cuisine, are a nutritional powerhouse, packed with protein and fiber yet low in fat. They readily serve as a terrific building block for kid-friendly meals that the whole family can enjoy. Another benefit of dishes from south-of-the-border is the emphasis on fresh vegetables. Whether accompanied by Goya Pinto Beans or wrapped in a Goya Corn Tortilla, red peppers, mushrooms and onions are an exceptional part of a child’s diet.
