One of the ways you can encourage healthy eating with your children, is by getting them involved in the cooking. Start as soon as they can hold a spoon!! Just get them to stir the mix, before they graduate to pouring in ingredients, and then measuring them out…
They will be so proud of themselves.
Here is an easy peasy recipe that they can stir up. When she was a wee little thing, Bailey was enlisted in the kitchen, and was a big help with the stirring, even helping drop dollops of mix onto the baking tray!
Here’s the recipe to get cooking with your kids!
