Get your kids cooking in the kitchen!
By Laura Cipullo, RD CDE CEDRD CDN and Mom
To honor National Nutrition Month we wanted to focus on helping children foster a positive relationship with food. A great way to do that is by getting kids active in the cooking process. Even if its making sometimes foods like baking cookies or, in this case, making pancakes! Here’s a cute video we made with the kids:
