How often did you make an excellent lunch which included green vegetables and your child made “that” face and screamed: ” I don’t like spinach, Mommy”? We know, many, many times. Spinach, broccoli, brussels sprouts, green beans and many other sorts of vegetables aren’t very popular among the children.
For every parent, home-cooked meals and plenty of healthy vegetables in their child’s diet are one of the most important things. But there may be negotiating and crying at the table, for some parents is a real nightmare. Well, we did some research and found out that kids who help their parents during cooking, actually like trying different foods and are less demanding about their meals.
So, why not include them? Cooking together with kids can help them realize the importance of healthy food and they are eager to help in the process. We decided to offer you the best cooking sites where you will find many delicious recipes try to together with your kids!

Eating your veggies has never been easier and more fun than with a little help from the Food Literacy Center. Just imagine your kid asking you to make broccoli taco together for dinner…five nights in a row. Yes, that’s how good it tastes. And to top it all – it’s healthy.
The blog was created by a non-profit organization and is currently offering tools that will help kids and parents learn to cook together. These include recipes, worksheets, and lesson plans. Their mission is to inspire kids, especially those in low-income elementary schools, to eat healthy food.
Food Literacy Center teaches children how to cook, about nutrition, gardening, and active play to improve health, environment, and economy.
This blog is well organized, so you can easily find all the activities the organization is currently involved in. We just know you’ll be in awe of the recipes, video material and curriculum the Food Literacy Academy has to offer.

Teuko takes the guesswork out of finding the best accessories, recipes and ideas for getting everyone to eat healthy! The free community shares amazing lunch ideas, easy how-to’s and ways to make mealtime fun on the Teuko blog.
The platform is created by Jessica and Alexandra, two French moms who live in San Francisco and who prepare lunch boxes every day for their young kids. They met several times while volunteering at their kids’ school, but the idea to create Teuko occurred to them by pure coincidence. They found out that they were both trying, separately, to pack healthy lunches their children would enjoy. And when it comes to moms, you know that they will try to go a little further than food.

Kids Kitchen
Back in 2011 two friends, Eva Freeman and Rebecca Tully, started Kids Kitchen as an antidote to the majority of kids cooking activities available at the time – which seemed to be cake, biscuit or something sweet based. Their plan was to do a one-off set of three sessions cooking a plant-based lunch from scratch with their own children and their friends, in a local cafe. What followed was a true success, we’d say.
So, Kids Kitchen is fun, sustainable, inclusive, collaborative and open. And the best thing – as the pandemic is making our lives a bit tougher these days, why not try Kids Kitchen online sessions? It’s guaranteed fun for you and your little ones!
