Local Food Kids

This blog is meant to inspire kids to cook. Every week I'll post a new recipe with easy to follow instructions.  My goal is to teach your kids how to healthfully nourish themselves and also inspire a love of cooking. It's so empowering for a child to be able to not only follow a recipe but  to use their imagination and make the recipe their own! That is when the real passion and learning begins. Your kids will be eager to cook any chance they can because they'll take pride in what they have created using their own imaginations.

My recipes are very different than most because they'll teach them how to think outside of the box. Your child will learn how to make substitutions and in many cases how to take one base recipe that they have mastered and tweak it just a little so they can make a multitude of different things. An example of this would be my "A MILLION MUFFINS" recipe.

I encourage the kids to email pictures of recipes they have made from this site. I'd be happy to post them for all their friends and family to see. I hope this blog is the start of your kids having a healthy, enjoyable relationship with food.

I've always said the key to a happy life is learning how to turn necessity into an extravagance, cooking can be just that if you learn to enjoy it. We all have to eat so we may as well learn to enjoy the art of cooking!

Shall we begin?
