099. It's Time for a Kids' Meal Revolution! with Kitchen Stewardship Creator Katie Kimball

<p><em>“If moms aren’t comfortable in the kitchen, how can we teach our kids to be confident in the kitchen?”</em></p> <p>When I say the words “cooking with kids,” how does that make you feel? Does it sound fun? Does the idea stress you out? If I were to talk about mac &amp; cheese, does it create instant overthinking and big emotions? Do you love it? Hate it? Wish your kids would eat something else? Do you have a kid you’d refer to as a “picky eater?” Would you ever give your kids knives to use in the kitchen?</p> <p>Take note of your answers to those questions because--oh man!—I want you to come back to those questions at the end of this episode after you’ve heard what Katie Kimball has to say and then answer those questions again! I bet today’s perspectives are going to blow your mind and shift your answers!</p> <p>Katie encourages us in the best possible ways—by sharing truths &amp; ideas that will increase our families’ confidence and connection.</p> <p>She is on a mission to create a kids’ meal revolution! Because something that we do 3 times a day—prepare food for our kids and eat!—shouldn’t be as stressful as it is.</p> <p>Katie believes that the best possible learning environment we have access to is the kitchen. Now that we're home more than ever and health is a top concern, we can use our family connection time in the kitchen to make a positive impact on the next generation. We can increase confidence, creativity, and connection through The Power of Teaching Kids to Cook, and start a #kidsmealrevolution that redefines the kids' meal as one that kids have cooked!</p> <p><strong>Katie’s Bio:</strong> Katie Kimball, CSME, founder and CEO of Kitchen Stewardship, is passionate about researching natural remedies and making healthy cooking easier for busy families.
