Someone's in the Kitchen with Mommy... Cooking with Kids

Cooking with your kids is a great way to keep them entertained, spend time with them and teach them healthy eating habits. And basic "help" can start as soon as they can stir a spoon.

This weekend we picked and ate the first peppers from our vegetable garden. Neither of our kids are huge fans of fresh veggies, but that doesn't stop us from taking them to farmers markets.
