Now You’re Cookin’

This post was inspired by a reader, Mom of 5. She cooks for her family on a Sunday afternoon to plan ahead for busy, baseball weeknights. I love it!
My ADD brain took this idea and ran with it. What about holding weekly, Sunday afternoon, cooking lessons for our kids? They can help choose the menu, make a shopping list and help with the shopping. The actual cooking will be supervised by Mom and Dad, but the prep work, cooking and clean up can all be done by the kids.
These sessions can also be an opportunity to talk about the importance of nutrition and how individuals with ADD should focus on getting enough protien, complex carbs and lots of fruits and vegetables.
