A few days ago, a friend of mine sent me this picture of her son and his latest culinary masterpiece:
It is PBXG – Peanut butter, Xagave and Goldfish sandwich.
Yes, even kids can use Xagave.
Involving kids in the kitchen early helps them in the future. Recent studies have shown a myriad of benefits when kids are involved in cooking. They are more willing to try healthy foods and eat healthier as adults. Cooking and preparing a meal also bring a sense of accomplishment and raises the self-esteem of children involved. Children who cook also improve their math and science abilities.
If you are interested in some quick and nutritious recipes to involve your child, look in the “Kids’ Stuff” section of Delicious Meets Nutritious (pg. 166).
