HOW CAN YOU MAKE YOUR COOKING EXPERIENCE WITH KIDS EASIER?

As parents, we barely have time and patience nowdays with work and kids and everything in between! πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« This is why we need to make things simple if they are going to help us in the kitchen once in a while…

Have them focus on an easy task and have utensils and recipe ingredients pre-measured and ready for them to mix, pour or cut! Its called MISE N PLACE!

As simple as the task may be, they will still be getting all the benefits from helping you cook! Being prepared means less mess πŸ˜…, being able to be done faster and achieving good results!

How to stack your fridge!

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Don’t overfill. Let air circulate through shelves.
πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Never put warm food in the fridge.
πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Put raw food on a plate to catch drips.
πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Keep fruits 🍎 and vegetables πŸ₯• in separate drawers.
πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Don’t keep bananas 🍌, potatoes πŸ₯”, onions πŸ§… and garlic πŸ§„ in the fridge.
πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Keep the fridge door shut.

Temperatures:
πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ The US Food and Drug Administration recommends a temperature below 40^F. Above that, bacteria can multiply rapidly.
πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ The ideal refrigerator temperature is between 35^F - 38^F (1 - 3^C).
πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ At 32^F and below, the food will start to freeze so maintain fridge temperature above this.
πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ The freezer should be kept below 0^F (-18^C or below).

CHRISTMAS POLAR EXPRESS πŸš‚

A little bit of Christmas fun!!!

* I am doing this activity to encourage my kids to try different vegetables. Servings of each vegetable are in silicone baking cups to add more color and the train just to add more fun! Let them choose what they would like to eat!

* Exposing children to foods in different ways and having them interact with the ones they haven’t tried or don’t like can spark curiosity! πŸ§‘πŸ½β€πŸ³

WINTER FOODS FOR KIDS
Source:

During the winter months, changes in mood, energy, focus, appetite and sleep are common. Kids might be less active in the cold, making it important to focus on getting the right nutrition. Healthful food choices can also help support your child’s mental health. Consider including these foods to help your kids stay healthy and happy this winter.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Salmon
It has amino acids such as tryptophan, tyrosine and glutamine that are the building blocks of protein and produce the neurotransmitters that contribute to mood regulation. Recent evidence links fish and its omega-3 fatty acids with lowering the risk of depression.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Winter Squash
Butternut squash is rich in vitamin A and carotenoids, which have been shown to benefit heart health and immunity while promoting healthy skin. It’s also a good source of dietary fiber, which helps keep blood sugar levels stable.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Cauliflower
Known for its high phytochemical content and potential to help prevent cancer and inflammation. It's rich in vitamin C and a good source of vitamin K for a healthy immune system and healthy bones. Good source of folate, a B vitamin important for growth and development, and its dietary fiber promotes stable energy levels and good digestion.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Clementines
They are a winter citrus, rich in vitamin C, which helps keep immune systems strong. They also provide dietary fiber. They are perfect for school lunchboxes or snacks.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Sweet Potatoes
They are packed with vitamin A, potassium, and dietary fiber. Its sweet taste works in all kinds of recipes and kids like it!
