This week I am holding my first of two 4-day long kids’ cooking classes. Yesterday, I had ten 4-8 year-old children sitting around my kitchen tables (I had to add one!). During our two hours, we made and ate lunch together. My idea for the day was to take a fast food kid’s meal and make it healthy, so here is what we enjoyed…

• Grilled Turkey Sliders (with toppings of their choice)

• Oven Fries – Regular and Sweet Potatoes

• Crudités Tray – Each table had the opportunity to arrange their carrots, cucumber slices, and celery sticks.

• And for dessert- A Frosty for everyone!

I hope to create a love of cooking within these children as well as instilling in them the importance of nutrition. There is so much pleasure in creating in the kitchen, whether by yourself or with family and friends, and being able to be healthy and creative is by far a goal I want to pass along to these young ones!
