Cooking with kids

COOKING WITH KIDS – BENEFITS
Parents since this is vacation time are you utilizing this time educating your kids about healthy eating, involving them in healthy eating…..Here are a few benefits

Children who cook become children who taste, and sometimes eat.Involving children in the process of cooking — plucking the herbs to add to a tomato and watermelon salad, for example — greatly increases the chance that they’ll actually try the finished dish. And hey, they may discover a new favorite. Or not. But cultivating a welcoming and open-minded approach to food can grow adults who approach life similarly.
Children who cook say “I can,” not “I can’t.”
A child who can do those can look at any restaurant dish and say, “I could make that.” That’s an attitude that can carry a child beyond the kitchen.
Cooking is a way to talk about health.
Also, it gives you an opportunity to discuss with a 3-year-old how fish (can help make you smart (fatty acids), or carrots can make your eye sight strong, how eating plenty of fresh vegetables and drinking lots of water will “keep your poop from hurting when it comes out.”
Cooking is a way to talk about healthy ingredients.Children who have made ice cream and caramel (like strawberry-rhubarb ice cream with a caramel swirl) know what is supposed to be in ice cream. They know they didn’t add any guar gum.
Preparing the meal can increase your child’s appreciation of the food they are served, knowing all the hard work that goes into making it.


So choose a recipe, grab an apron, and open your refrigerator. Happy cooking!
