Cooking with

kids: Share gift

of healthy food

If you are wondering how to start cooking
together as a family, here are some helpful tips
on how to make it happen and ensure it’s an
enjoyable experience:
n Give everyone a role in preparing a
meal, from picking produce, rinsing fruit and
vegetables, chopping, stirring, getting the
utensils and plates ready, bringing items to
the eating area and placing items in the trash
when cleaning up. Any role that gets your child
involved and teaches important skills is a win.
n Family meals don’t have to be hot or fancy
to be healthy and satisfying. Simple foods will
do. Salmon or tuna sandwiches, an apple or
salad and yogurt can be a quick, healthy meal.
n Be creative. Eat at a park, at sport
practices or on a blanket on the floor. Bring an
ice chest to children’s sports activities. Sit with
children where you can have eye contact and
talk with each other.
n Start early and include everyone. Even a
1-year-old can tear lettuce, rinse vegetables and
fruits, place items in the trash and more.
n Need help to learn how to cook? Ask a
family member or friend to share their wisdom.
