kids in the kitchen!

Lets get our kids in the kitchen! Let's stop trying to hide veggies in their food (lets face it, they usually figure it out...they're smarter than we think sometimes!). I was a preschool teacher for 10 years and I know first hand that if children help prepare food it gives them a sense of pride and they are more apt to eat it. Even veggies! No matter what type of food you are cooking, children can help in some way. Washing veggies, slicing green onions, measuring flour. Yes it takes longer so you'll need to add a little extra time to your plan but they CAN do it! And they are so proud of themselves for their acomplishments. It's a win win situation :)
