• Get Your KidsInto The Kitchen
• As the colder weather approaches, and children
  tend to spend more times indoors, now is a great
  time to get them involved in cooking!
• Getting kids interested in food preparation can
  help improve the foods they eat and make them
  more likely to experiment with new foods,
  especially fruits and vegetables. Young children
  will need supervision with knives and using the
  stove, but teenagers can easily prepare meals or
  snacks.
• The easier the items are to prepare, the more
  likely kids will try the foods again. Start out
  with simple pasta and vegetable dishes or let
  them bake breads and muffins that are chock-full
  of fruits or vegetables. Smoothies are another
  easy option.
• Break the cold weather blues by encouraging your
  children to learn about cooking and healthy
  eating in the kitchen. Encourage them to
  accompany you to the grocery store and to pick
  out a new fruit and a new vegetable for the
  entire family to try. It may require a cookbook
  to find the best way to prepare the new
  vegetable, but a food adventure is often a good
  adventure?

Choose foods to promote a healthy future at
every stage of life. For more information about
