NEW YORK, October 6, 2021 / PRNewswire / – Reliable care, in partnership with New York City Football Club, launches its newest “Lunchology” menu of healthy, fun and creative recipe ideas to keep busy families on the go – especially as the new school year starts.

Fidelis Care offers families healthy recipes with a new Lunchology menu

Reliable care is proud to present our latest Lunchology menu, developed in partnership with New York City FC, “said Chief Member Engagement Officer, Pam Hassen. “These recipes are child and parent friendly as well as fun and easy to prepare for the family. We pride ourselves on being a resource for health and wellbeing in the communities we serve. “

The statewide health plan is celebrating the 5th year of its popular Lunchology program, which began in 2016 to help families New York State make good nutrition a priority. From breakfast and school lunch ideas to quick and healthy dinners and snacks, Lunchology’s 50+ recipes over the years have provided hundreds of families with a helpful resource – while also encouraging a good time together, encouraging creativity in the Cuisine inspired and health promoted, affordable choices.

The new Lunchology menu was developed by Chef Matt Gottlieb, Sous Chef Lalo Ortega, and registered nutritionist Elizabeth Canepari, and includes delicious breakfast ideas like overnight oats and a French toast casserole; easy-to-prepare meals like homemade chicken nuggets and taco zucchini boats; and a special dessert – healthy banana ice cream.

To better understand the challenges families face today, Reliable care also worked with the New York State Parent Teacher Association (NYSPTA) to interview parents about how their children’s eating habits have impacted during the COVID pandemic, as well as their top nutrition concerns when children return to school.

The survey found that more than 60% of parents are concerned that their child developed unhealthy eating habits during the pandemic, while almost 84% think their child would eat better if they had access to healthier, nutritious, and cheaper recipes would have. A major concern of families is that their children’s habits regarding unhealthy snacks are an issue.

“Families continue to seek healthy and affordable meals and snacks for their children,” said Dana Platinum, president of the NYS PTA. “Terrifyingly, many families face food insecurity and it is vital to provide support in supporting the health and wellbeing of their children. We look forward to working with Reliable care and NYCFC to continue to support the children of our state. “

“We’re excited to provide families with simple and fun recipes that will help kids run, jump and play just like the players on the field,” added Chef Matt Gottlieb, Head Chef at New York City FC. “Here at NYCFC, we know that eating a healthy diet is essential to the general health and well-being of our bodies, especially for active, growing children. We hope that families can have a good time with these recipes and understand that eating healthy is possible is fun! “
