Make cooking a family affair this holiday season.
With the holiday break coming up, you might need an activity to keep your kids from going stir-crazy, so why not make it one that has so many other benefits? Kids are much more likely to try foods they’ve had a hand in selecting and preparing. Cooking is a means of teaching nutrition, math, and science without even trying. It’s also a great confidence builder for a child to be able to prepare a snack or meal that the grownups in the house will also eat.
Some holiday recipes you can try with your kids include a healthier latke recipe with homemade applesauce, or the recipe below for a festive fruit crisp, originally from The Doctor’s Spicebox. The fun part about this fruit crisp is that kids can switch up the ingredients to include their favorite fruits, seeds or nuts.
