Getting the Kids involved

This summer I have been working really hard to get the kids to become more conscious of what they eat and where It comes from. 

Last week they both took a cooking class about healthy eating and learned from a Minnesota Author, Lisa Wagner, how to chop, mix, and grate their way to good food. They had an absolute ball and wanted to go everyday. 

Isaac has been super excited to make this veggie pasta salad, so today we did! 

I prepped the vinaigrette first and let it hang out for a while when we chopped veggies. 

We used everything we had at the house:  cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, mini peppers, radishes, and zucchini. 

~I cannot get Isaac to eat anything green or crunchy on a normal day, but today he's already eaten two bowls with nothing picked out. It really goes to show you that if they're involved in the process they are much more willing to eat it. 



He was in charge of washing, peeling, and chopping the carrots! 



We not only got to hang out and try a new recipe I got to teach him the valuable lesson "great cooks make a mess"! 

Happy cooking!
