Little Chefs

The new branch of the hospital that opened nearby was handing out these free healthy kids kits. The kit included a recipe book of fun healthy recipes, a box of crayons, and a chef's hat. When I read that in the paper, I drove over and picked up four of them.

After flipping through the recipes, which were things like ants on a log (raisins on top of a celery stick spread with peanut butter), the kids came up with some of their own ideas for recipes.
This is Westley's banana race car. He used a half a banana, four grapes and an apple slice for each one.

Caleb created a smoothie that turned out to be tasty--it had yogurt, ice, blueberries, strawberries, and apple juice. I was surprised at how good it was since he was just winging it, but it was!

The kids especially have loved having their chef hats to wear when they help me in the kitchen.
