C and R love to cook and bake with me. When we work together in the kitchen, I try to incorporate a few lessons. I always tell them how much of each ingredient we need, and I explain why we are going to whisk some items and stir in other items, etc. R is much more open to trying new foods than her brothers are, but maybe they will come around some day!
We make plenty of sweet treats, but I also try to involve them in making healthy foods. If they help to make the food, they are more likely to eat it! Last week, we made whole wheat pancakes with a mixed berry sauce. C and R both helped make the pancakes and the sauce.
Top your favorite pancakes with this sauce for a sweet and healthy treat. We put 4 cups of unsweetened frozen mixed berries in the blender until chopped. Then we put the berries in a small pan over low heat and added 3 TBSP of pure maple syrup; heat until warm. The sauce is delicious and it goes a long way. You can also mix it into oatmeal or pour it on top of frozen yogurt!

Yummy! That sounds like a great treat to eat. Jeff always adds heated up jam to his pancakes.
I also enjoy cooking and baking with Anna. This looks like a very healthy meal, and I really liked the picture on top.
