Hello! Welcome to the blog Easy Eats for Kids! This blog will give recipes and instruction techniques to help get kids or students involved in the cooking process and learn about nutrition in a fun and engaging way!
As part of a grant that I won from the Acure "Show the World" contest, I am leading an after school program at AlWood Middle-High School, where I teach, to help students learn about how to cook a variety of sustainable, healthy, and delicious meals. On this blog, there will also be helpful resources and toolkits that other teachers (or even parents) can use to easily replicate the workshops that I am hosting at my school or with any group. The cost of these items and nutritional information will also be provided.
The goal of this program is to help students understand fundamental nutrition skills and concepts that support their health and well-being, while also giving them the tools, skills, and experience to actually apply this knowledge and learn how to prepare delicious and healthy meals. I think a program like this is so essential in a world where we are constantly surrounded by highly processed meals, fast food restaurants, and foods packed with salt, saturated fats, and sugars. It is often the healthiest items that people stay away from, such as vegetables or grains, mostly because they do not know how to prepare them. It is no wonder that so many students and adults alike suffer from diseases like obesity and diabetes.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find some of the recipes and content beneficial!
