Eat Berries Everyone!
• Blueberries
• Strawberries
• Raspberries
• Cranberries
• Blackberries
• And other berries
Helps protect the body from chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer. They block the inflammatory process that we are learning more and more about. Eating high fat foods can cause the body to have an inflammatory response.
Some components in berries fight off infections. Cranberries, for example, contain proanthocyanidins that help prevent urinary tract infections by keeping bacteria from sticking to the walls of the bladder.
Berries taste great and come in so many colors. The darker the better! (more health punch!)
Teach your kids at a young age about the fun of eating berries. A great family day could be going out to a local farm and letting the kids actually pick them!
Here are some Berry helpful tips (sorry, I couldn’t pass that one up)
• Look for colors. The darker the better! (more health punch!)
• Eat a variety
• Eat the whole fruit
• Eat them several times a week
Have a berryful day!!
Yours in good health,

Cooking With Kids
10 Reasons Why Kids Should Learn To Cook!
Cooking helps kids make Healthy Food Choices - Learning to cook helps kids to learn about nutrition and healthy eating. Growing up with fast food and junk food can be a part of the reason why child obesity is on the rise. Teaching kids to cook healthy instill skills to last them a lifetime.
Boost their Self Esteem. If your child needs a boost of self confidence, (and who doesn't!) cooking in the kitchen will do just that. They are accomplishing a task, learning something important and contributing to the family.
Helps to create Family Time and Bonding. Take time to cook with your kids and they will have memories that they, in turn, can pass on to their families. It may take a longer time to get the meal or snack done but the moments with your children will be priceless.
Kids will be more apt to eat what they make. Perhaps, it is the enthusiasm of creating something themselves, but they will be more likely to eat whatever they had a hand in making.
Kids learn real lessons in Science, Language, Math and Creativity. Cooking will help reinforce all these subjects!
What a great way to learn life skills. This can be especially helpful when kids grow up to be on their own. They won't have to rely on fast food and junk food to sustain them.
They can help contribute to the family and they can feel the importance of helping.
They are working together as a team, whether it is with a parent or with a sibling to get the job done.
Cooking teaches them planning and making choices.
Practice creativity and imagination. Kids cooking activities are a great way to express themselves and enjoy their creations.
Sign-up your child for Weekend Little Chefs classes this summer or fall!
Call for more information.
Happy Cooking,

Kids Cooking Up Some Fun For Dad!!
This past Sunday Little Chefs Weekend Kids were cooking up some yummy foods for their Dads!
This group consisted of two boys and six girls, all ranging in ages of 5-8 years. The Little Chefs made their own healthy version of a cupcake complete with yummy icing and decorations. While the cakes were baking the pizza chefs were in full action rolling and stretching their doughs to customize it to their Dad's liking! After the pizza's were finished and cooking the kids had a break from cooking and make a placemat. (I will get these to you soon)
The picture you see was taken by a photographer friend of mine. She is an awesome photographer and gladly came out to What's Cooking' to snap lots of photos of all the Little Chefs and myself. Thanks so much Michelle, I really appreciate you coming by to take some photos of my Weekend Little Chefs! Michelle's business is called Captured Moments Photography and she can be reached at 519.938.9344 Have a look at her website to see some of her work. http://www.capturedmomentsphotography.ca/
Happy Cooking, Lori
