Mine does. And while it is sometimes a Zen exercise on my part to supervise her baking, I find that she is far more likely to eat something that she has had a part in creating. She also learns basic reading and math as we go, so it’s really win-win. And now, there’s an actual opportunity to win: the EatRight Ontario Kids Recipe Challenge. Here’s what we’ve got for you from our trustee, Sheila Cary-Meagher:
EatRight Ontario and Dietitians of Canada are working together to get kids excited about healthy eating and creating kid-friendly healthy recipes. The EatRight Ontario Kids Recipe Challenge is open to Ontario students in grades 1 to 6. Prizes include gift certificates for iPods, gift certificates, cookbooks and more.
NB* Deadline for submissions is December 16, 2012.
