Healthy Kids Cook
Over the course of the year, we’ve created a video series called Healthy Kids Cook, and our experiences cooking with kids of all ages have firmly cemented our belief that kids truly enjoy helping in the kitchen.
Not only that, the experience is a great inspiration for them to try new, healthy foods that they might otherwise resist. PCC Chef Jackie Freeman, who’s hosted the kids, says, “The holidays are a busy time, especially in the kitchen. Encourage your kids to participate with simple, age-appropriate tasks that give them some ownership, like reading recipes, measuring ingredients or mixing and stirring.”
