Organic
Gardening with Kids. Making homemade pasta
4-7-11
Spring is almost here so I am excited to work in my organic garden
with my kids again. Gardening with your kids can be one of the most
rewarding things you can do.
You can show them where food comes from, how to plant seeds, about
organic composting and most importantly how fun just being outside
with your kids can be.
Every year I grow vegetables with my kids and they learn when to
pick vegetables attheir peak and what vegetables go best with
certain dishes in the kitchen. Cooking with your kids using foods they helped grow will increase the
likelihood of getting your kids to eat green vegetables and to them
living a life around family and food.
The family dinner will become the centerpiece of your day and
hopefully the favorite memories your kids will have in the future.
You can use your own organic
garden to make your own baby food, make your own toddler food, and
eventually
feed your family healthy fast dinners that are made up of real food, prepared simply,
to make simple family meals that even busy parents can put together.
Being a Chef and Father, I am a busy parent just like you and I hope to teach
parents to cook
family dinners that are easy and fun and I hope to inspire families
to spend time in
the kitchen and garden together. It’s all about food in my home and
I am proud
every time my kids eat vegetables and try new foods. I try to lead
by example and
make it fun. Have fun spending time in the garden with your kids
this year and
change your life.
Gardening, cooking, family time, learning, art, it
all happens around
the dinner table which is why I say…life happens at the table.
Enjoy this video of my kids and I cooking together last year and I
hope to see you at
your local farmer’s market this year.
