Food Hero

Food Hero is a nutrition education site created by Oregon State University that offers budget‑friendly recipes, printable activity sheets, and kid‑oriented food challenges. Families can browse ideas for cooking with fruits and vegetables, watch short how‑to videos, and download coloring pages and games that reinforce healthy‑eating messages. Parents appreciate that recipes use accessible ingredients and simple steps, making them realistic for busy weeknights and limited budgets. Everything is free, which is a huge plus for large families and co‑ops planning health units. For more impact, let kids choose recipes, help shop, and rate what they make so they feel ownership of the process.
