The benefits of teaching children how to cook are plenty

According to the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, developing cooking skills by adolescence may result in long-term benefits for nutritional well-being.

The study found that confidence in cooking ability led to fewer fast-food meals, more meals as a family, and more frequent preparation of meals with vegetables in adulthood.

In addition to teaching children healthy eating habits, children also learn mathematical skills from measuring ingredients. During our baking session, I asked my daughter to recognize the different numbers on the measuring cups and to place the muffin liners in patterns mixing the various colors. As an added bonus, we spent quality time together without screens or technology. At the end of our baking, we have a delicious treat to enjoy with pride. What a great teaching moment that any family can offer. I call this learning in disguise!

How to Make Pumpkin Muffins

Even though these muffins are made from scratch, they don’t take that long to make. If you are bored with your back to school snacks, consider adding these pumpkin muffins. My daughter reminded me to pack her a few in her lunchbox and she takes great pride in helping make them!

The Greek yogurt makes these muffins moist and not dry. I had to refrain from eating the entire pan. Remember, sharing is caring – another lesson I am sure KinderCare teaches their students.

Happy New Year! This year was tough but we are so Happy New Year! This year was tough but we are so thankful for the extra time we spent together as a family. 2020 taught me a lot about myself and what kind of life I want to live right now and once the pandemic is over.  Last year we hosted a party on NYE and I’m sure we opened a portal to this chaos.  This year is much different. Tonight we will most likely be in bed by 10 pm and I am okay with that! We are currently in mismatched jammies at 5 pm. 😜  Cheers to a new year and whatever that will look like! I’m not picking a new word nor am I doing resolutions for the first time in years. I have no expectations but keeping hope alive that things will get better and we can gather and hug once again soon.  Praying for those who are hurting and struggling right now. Things will get better... they simply have to! Let’s go, 2021.
