Back To School:
I remember coming home from school and my mom would always be there waiting for me with some new treat. Some days she made a cheese ball with crackers. Another time we might have cream cheese and cucumber sandwiches cut into pretty shapes. She always made it special. After our treat, I would help my mom make dinner. My mom was hip for back in the “old days.” She took all sorts of interesting cooking classes and was always trying new things. She took Italian and Chinese cooking classes, even a cake decorating class. I still use some of those recipes we created back in the early days! We have a killer sweet and sour recipe that maybe I will share some day! Teaching kids to cook and eat healthier early in life is a great way to learn nutrition, organization and many other important “life skills.” I know we are all busy. Many of you may feel it is easier just to buy something already made. It might be easier, but is it better? Being prepared, making lists, shopping ahead of time (or using home grocery delivery service like www.peapod.com) can help make things easier for you. Think of the fun memories that you can create with your kids – let alone the better nutrition that you will be feeding your kids. We all know that our kids are even more at risk for development of disease than we are. There are many more environmental issues that they have to deal with that we did not get exposed to. The better their nutrition, the better equipped they will be to perform in school as well as physical activities. Get your kids in the kitchen with you! Take full advantage of this time together in the kitchen by being prepared. If both parents work or you are a single parent with minimal time, set aside a weekend afternoon to do some cooking ahead of time for the week.>>> |
 Nicole Baird, Patient Educator Marion Hauser, M.S., R.D.  Ross Hauser, M.D. Bob Filice, M.D. Here's a few tips to get you started cooking with your kids. •Before you begin, read the recipe through with your kids
and make sure everyone understands it. Follow directions! • Use cutting boards for their chopping so no damage
occurs. •Be sure sure to teach kids how to handle equipment and knives safely before you get started. Monitor their proficiency as you work together. |
