Isaac has always enjoyed spending time with me in the kitchen and I've worked to capitalize on that. It's important to me that he can a) feed himself!; b) navigate the full food prep process safely; c) explore & enjoy flavors of food from around the world, and d) selfishly, I've want to do everything I could to avoid having a picky eater (yes, I know that is not always possible). So kitchen time has always been important to us and something that Isaac has enjoyed.
When I heard about Raddish Kids, an "at home culinary experience", my interest was peaked, but my plan was to subscribe when BOTH my children were home and could enjoy it; something we could do as a family together. Food assurance is vitally important to many children who come from institutional settings. Raddish Kids would be perfect to give my kids kitchen skills and power over their own diet. Given our recent adoption delay I decided to give it a try why we are waiting for Girly to get home.
Over the weekend our first box arrived...an apron, a recipe book, visual instruction cards, new measuring spoons and all sorts of fun kitchen skills ideas. Today was Isaac's big day---HE was making dinner. Not only that, he was going to be in charge of the ENTIRE shopping, prep and dinner experience! You can do it buddy!
He shopped from a list (despite ending up with some random marmalade and evaporated milk he did pretty good!), put everything on the check out, paid, packed and loaded the car.

You all, this was SO GOOD! He and I both took seconds and third helpings! He had a blast; I didn't have to make dinner (!) and the food was AWESOME. He even earned an Indian Cuisine badge for his apron:
I'm already looking forward to next month's box and cannot recommend Raddish Kids highly enough! This is going to be a great experience for BOTH my kids <3
