Cooking with and for Kids

  • by

Sports are time consuming and they make for a disjointed schedule.  Those that say the family should eat together at the table each evening never played varsity or college sports.  Practices extend through dinner time and with travel and homework, trying to get the family to the table each evening is a fight that’s not worth trying to win.  Instead, cook at home, with your kids, and for your kids.  Here are a few suggestions, if you need more help or ideas, get in touch with us.

No Carbs – stay away from bread and pasta, cereal and fruit a bit.

Protein – protein, protein, eat it at every meal.

Veges – lots of them, all shapes and sizes.

Scratch – nothing pre-made, only raw protein and vegetables.

Cheese, Butter, Milk, Yogurt – lots of it, everywhere, on everything.

Prep – when you have a bit of time, do prep work, cook the protein, cut the veges.

Leftovers – make too much, keep it for later.

Cast Iron – easy for kids and adults, they can’t hurt it, good for you.

Splurge – don’t remove treats from diets, keep them around, learn when and where.

Mess – a kitchen that’s too clean is unhealthy
