It’s a Friday night; my husband is out of town on business—again (sigh). There are three who are 3 and under to feed and I have absolutely no energy to cook. What’s a mom to do? Well, I can’t lie--this mom was tempted to get out the fish sticks and green beans for the umpteenth time in a row, until I thought of a more appetizing alternative (literally)—Stone Canyon Pizza. If you are lucky enough to live near one of these restaurants, go. If you don’t, they’re worth the drive. There are two locations, one in downtown Parkville, one in Gladstone and one in Zona Rosa.

For better or worse, dining out is the American way. Parents shoehorn dinner in between their work schedules and children’s extracurriculars. Often that means grabbing a bite at the drive-through. But David Zinczenko, author of Eat This, Not That! For Kids, says that’s a problem. Restaurant fare is big on calories, fat and sodium, making it a major player in a host of children’s weight-related issues. Overweight kids are at greater risk than ever for problems like diabetes, heart problems and asthma, among others. Luckily, there are ways to make healthy choices even at your favorite eatery.
