Celebrate Mother’s Day by Cooking with Your Child

This story originally appeared in the Live Smart Newsletter and was written by our Clinical Dietitian Liz Katzman with St. Peter’s Health Partners.

“Moms love you no matter what, are nice, and are fun to cook with!” said my daughter, Charlotte, when asked why moms are special.

Charlotte started cooking with me at two years old, as an attempt to keep her entertained one crazy afternoon. Despite the impressive mess she made, it transformed into mommy-daughter time that secretly teaches her important life skills.

With Mother’s Day fast approaching, I wanted to celebrate our favorite pastime with two special recipes: Charlotte’s Berry Parfait, an easy breakfast an 8-year-old could make all by herself this Sunday morning, and Pam Anderson’s Multigrain Medallions, a favorite in our house that could either be made with Mom or for her with the help of another adult.
