Cooking With Kids!

Just because last Friday was our last week of cooking arts/ agriculture arts for this block does not mean that your kids should stop cooking! There are some wonderful cookbooks written by Mollie Katzen, who also wrote "The Enchanted Broccoli Forest" and "The Moosewood Cookbook." She displays recipes in a way that children can follow, even if they can't read.

For the full "Number Salad" recipe, click on the link below. There are also many other recipes on the site.

Also, check out these creative lunch ideas! If you have never heard of an obento, it is a Japanese lunch box. Parents in Japan spend a lot of time creating a picture perfect lunch for their children. If you are having a difficult time convincing your child to eat their vegetables, turning a carrot into tree or a flower could be just the thing that works!
