Better family nutrition with Jamie Oliver and Disney Family.com

Because Disney Family.com recognizes the importance of eating and living healthy, they wanted to provide tips and advice on slashing sugar, cooking light, healthy recipes and more. That’s why the site has partnered with Jamie Oliver – America’s new healthy food champion – and has recently added brand new site content focused on living better and living well. Jamie Oliver’s show, ‘Food Revolution,’ addresses how families can rediscover ways to cook simple, delicious and affordable meals, and Family.com now features recipes from Jamie as well as his personal tips for healthy living. In addition, if you missed it on TV, you can also stream episodes of Food Revolution from the site.

To spread the word about Family.com’s partnership with Jamie Oliver, and the corresponding site content, I’m offering a gift pack to one winner which includes Jamie Oliver’s book, Jamie’s Food Revolution, Family.com branded oven mitts and apron, and a cutting board and bowl set. It’s a prize valued at approximately $85!

To enter, please leave a comment telling me how you encourage your family to make healthy decisions when it comes to food, or let me know about a recent, positive lifestyle change you’ve made. Year round, you can visit Disney Family.com for parenting advice, travel ideas, recipes and more.
