**Just an update that the Kids Cook Real Food eCourse is available through today – November 30. If you want a clutter-free, practical gift idea, this would be awesome! We love this course!
One of my goals for my girls is that they not only have book smarts, but life skills, too. I left home without much of a clue about how to manage a home…or cook. I still remember one of my jobs in college was taking care of some people in their home, and I was supposed to cook dinner. The guy I was working with was like, “You don’t know how to cook, do you?” And, I didn’t…and I was embarrassed by that!
Needless to say, I decided my children would learn to cook well before they left home. The biggest problem for me is taking the time to do it and knowing what exactly I should teach them.
That’s why I am in love with the Kids Cook Real Food ecourse. Truly. If teaching your child/ren to cook is on your to-do list, this is an amazing eCourse!
Now, I do realize this course is a little more expensive what I normally share, but it is worth it for the comprehensive and step-by-step content. Plus, you are even allowed to purchase the ecourse and invite another family (or two or three) over to learn with you.
For just a few days, the Kids Cook Real Food eCourse will be open for enrollment. The course closes on November 2, 2016. You can find more details here.
By the way, iyou do purchase the ecourse and want to have a small FB group for accountability (because I want to actually make it through the whole course with the girls…not just the first few lesson!), just comment on this post or send me an email at motherhoodonadime @ gmail . com. If there are at least 5 or 6 of us, I’ll set up a group!

REVIEWER TESTIMONIALS
- “My kids (ages 8, 10) absolutely love it! It has even helped my picky eater want to try new foods. We have multiple food allergies in our home and try to cook only real food already, but I didn’t know how to teach my kids the techniques. I am learning so much too!”
- “You laid everything out so well that we had a GREAT laid back experience at the stove with FIRE. Who would have thought?!?! SO THANKFUL for this.”
- “Since my daughter is helping with making the seasonings, she now doesn’t hate ranch dressing and taco seasoning!!! woohoo! Its as though making it herself changes it.”
- “I loved the practice the boys got on those basic kitchen skills. They were both excited that they’re on their way to being able to cook on their own. My 7-year-old was like, “Now I can follow any recipe and cook anything!’”
- “Actually, it was the best time I’ve had in the kitchen with my kids for a long time!”
- “As soon as I started [the adult video], I don’t even know how the kids knew, but they were swarming like bees. They love this cooking class!”
- “I LOVE that this lesson enabled my daughter to make a dinner that the whole family enjoyed – the rice was amazingly delicious!”
