I love it when kids are honest.  Sometimes they aren’t diplomatic and sometimes their timing is off.  But it warms my heart when I ask a real question and get an honest answer.  Thanks, Dixie, for telling me what you think about trying new foods.

Dixie and Friends

I don’t like to try new food because it might taste bad. Especially at restaurants you don’t know what’s inside the food – they just give it to you. But when I cook, I know every ingredient because I made it. I never had an omelet before I cooked it with help from my mom. I tried and I liked it. Now I make cheese omelets all the time all by myself- it’s my favorite food. ~Dixie S.

Does your child have a story they’d like to share about an experience with food or in the kitchen?  How about you?  My readers love to see how parents interact with their children in the kitchen.  The more stories we can share about cooking with kids, the more likely it is that other people will try it, too.  I post these stories every Monday and would love to share yours!
