Turn fall sweet potatoes into a warm cozy side dish the whole family can help make! 🍠💛

Older kids can peel, mash, mix, and decorate— it’s hands-on learning you can eat!
Plus, it’s easy on your wallet and big on flavor.

Cooking with your kids isn’t just about the food, it’s about the moments. Getting kids to help with cooking has so many benefits, for you and them.

Boost their confidence, spark creativity, and make memories that last long after the dishes are done.

Bonus: They’re more likely to try new foods when they help make them!
