Re: Different Foods - cooking with kids

[Guest guest]

Hi Ken,

Colin is in weekly feeding therapy and what they do is a " cooking

class " format where where they make a simple recipe each week

focusing on new foods. It is amazing the things he will try in

there - for example, pumpkin muffins were a huge hit and we have

made them at home. They are so much more likely to try things that

they have taken part in creating.

We made homemade pizzas at home and I had lots of different cheeses

out and Colin LOVED the goat cheese. He never would have tried it

had I served it with a meal.

He also made homemade pasta with his dad that he hand cranked and

ate tons of it.

It can be work sometimes, but try getting him involved in cooking

more at home. There are lots of recipes on the Internet for easy to

prepare nutritious kid foods. I can post some links if anyone is

interested.
