Fun with Tots, Tweens and Teens:
Delicious and Nutritious Family Cooking
By Marcia Koth de Paredes
 Cooking and sharing the results makes for good family fun. Cooking together also offers the opportunity for parental guidance for making smart food choices. The following links include a couple of portals to dozens of cooking-as-a-hobby webs, some simple guidelines to encourage healthy eating, a few techniques for calculating nutritional needs and then some easy to cook (usually tasty) recipes. Time spent with your children on some of the activities suggested will be a good investment in their heart-healthy future and a heart-warming experience now.
