Getting Kids in the Kitchen
There are so many benefits of getting kids in the kitchen to help you with cooking meals and baking some healthy delicious treats like these Low Carb Mexican Wedding Cookies.
Getting kids involved in the kitchen can have numerous benefits for their development and well-being:
Life Skills: Cooking teaches kids important life skills that they’ll use throughout their lives. By learning to prepare meals from scratch, they develop a valuable skill set including measuring ingredients, following recipes, and understanding basic cooking techniques.
Healthy Eating Habits: When kids are involved in meal preparation, they’re more likely to try new foods and develop a positive attitude towards healthy eating. Cooking together allows them to explore a variety of ingredients and flavors, making them more open to trying nutritious foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Nutritional Awareness: Cooking at home gives kids a better understanding of where their food comes from and how it’s prepared. They learn to recognize different food groups, understand the importance of balanced meals, and make informed choices about what they eat.
Confidence and Independence: Being able to cook for themselves gives kids a sense of independence and accomplishment. As they gain confidence in the kitchen, they’re more likely to take on other responsibilities and challenges in their lives.
Family Bonding: Cooking together can be a fun and enjoyable way for families to spend time together. It provides an opportunity for kids to bond with parents, siblings, and other family members while working towards a common goal.
Cognitive Development: Cooking involves various cognitive skills such as problem-solving, planning, and sequencing. Kids learn to follow step-by-step instructions, think critically, and make decisions, which can help improve their cognitive abilities and academic performance.
Motor Skills: Cooking requires both fine and gross motor skills, such as chopping, stirring, and pouring. By practicing these skills in the kitchen, kids can improve their coordination, dexterity, and hand-eye coordination.
Creativity and Imagination: Cooking is a creative process that allows kids to express themselves and experiment with different flavors and ingredients. Encouraging creativity in the kitchen can spark their imagination and inspire them to think outside the box.
Overall, involving kids in cooking fosters a positive attitude towards food, promotes healthy eating habits, and enhances their overall development and well-being. Plus, it’s a fun and rewarding activity that the whole family can enjoy together.read more

This is an easy recipe for Low Carb Cinnamon Tortilla Chips with Cinnamon Pecan Cream Cheese Dip using simple ingredients.
Tell me if this sounds familiar…
You find yourself REALLY wanting a sweet snack but knowing that you REALLY don’t need all the sugar?
That’s like my whole life right now! Managing my tendency toward gestational diabetes means that I really can’t deal with sugar or carbs so I’ve been experimenting!
Cut tortillas into 6 triangles each and dip each side into stevia/Cinnamon blend.
Bake at 350 degrees on baking tray covered in parchment paper for 10 minutes.
Beat together cream cheese, stevia, and cinnamon until smooth.
Fold in pecans.
Note: The stevia blend I use is a cup for cup substitute for sugar (this one is a good choice if you want to try it!). You can use any sweetener you like, just sweeten to taste.
