Cooking with Your Kids!

Do your kids help you out in the kitchen? I love to have my kids help me cook! They have been helping me since they were very young! And know my kids love to cook and they just start cooking meals when they are hungry. They did this almost daily during the summer. I would come in from doing choirs and they would be busy in the kitchen cooking! It was/is a wonderful sight! =)

 Kids that help in the kitchen

Are 35% less likely to be engaged in unhealthy eating habits and 24% more likely to eat healthier foods?

They are 12% less likely to be tempted to try drugs? The average American eats one in every five meals in their car; one in four Americans eats at least one fast food meal every single day, and the majority of American families report eating a single meal together less than five days a week.

Cooking with kids promotes creativity, mindfulness, and patience in children, no matter what their age. And little kids practice fine motor skills and math and science lessons, while older ones learn a lifelong skill that will give them confidence and the tools to feed themselves healthfully and affordable. 

Do you cook with your kids? What are your favorite meals to make?
