This summer, I decided to do a more structured curriculum to teach my girls to cook. We are excited about it! The girls can’t wait to start the videos and lessons for the Kids Cook Real Food eCourse, and I’m thankful to have a planned approach. The eCourse is open for enrollment through June 6, 2016 and only opens up a few times each year. You can go through the course at your own pace. Find the curriculum map here.
