Baking Recipes – For Kids Only
Baking is one of the best activities you can get your child into. Why? That’s because baking is usually the safest and closest thing to cooking for kids, especially the young ones. As you encourage them to delve into cooking and/or baking, this can bring joy not only to you but to your child as well. (Remember, your child is innately curious about a lot of things, baking included.)
Aside from being a fun activity that you and your kids can get into, getting kids involved in the kitchen can help teach them how to make healthy food choices. According to “Yummy Healthy Tummy: The Secrets of Raising Healthy Kids Every Parent Needs to Know”, it is one of the many ways you can try to get children to try, enjoy and prefer healthy food.
Here are some simple recipes that your kids can help you make. If they’re a bit older and are responsible enough to use the oven by themselves, they can even do this on their own.

Children and Nutrition – Grains and Cereals
By Kiera S. Campbell
A discussion of children and nutrition is not complete without including grains and cereals. Grains and cereals provide our body with a rich source of energy and fiber. If you look at the food pyramid, you’ll find them at the base of the triangle - which means they should be consumed the most among the various food groups.
To develop a habit of healthy eating for teens and younger kids also means cultivating a love for grains and cereals. According to “Yummy Healthy Tummy: Secrets to Raising Healthy Kids Every
Parent Needs to Know”, the best way to get our children to make healthy food choices is to educate them and introduce them early to foods that are truly good for our bodies. And where better to start than with knowing what these foods are ourselves?
Demeter, the Greek goddess of the grains and harvest also has a Roman name, Ceres. This is where cereal got its name from. Grains and cereals are carbohydrate rich foods. They also provide energy, some protein, and significant amounts of B complex vitamins. They are popularly served with nuts, seeds, fruits, vegetables and/or milk. All grains can be ground into flour and made into bread and other dishes requiring flour.
When it comes to grains and cereals, here’s a list of the most popular ones:
1. Corn
Corn (or maize) is one of the most popular grain around. In many parts of the world, corn is considered food for certain domesticated animals. In some, it’s considered a staple and a fantastic main ingredient for popular snacks (popcorn, corn on a cob, etc.)
Corn can be ground and used for making bread. Bread that is made from corn flour is easily digested without difficulty as compared to other flours. And believe it or not, most dextrose is produced from corn. Corn is considered a laxative as it encourages peristalsis (wave-like movement in the intestines necessary for waste elimination).
2. Rice
Rice is a staple food, particularly in Asia, but not confined to it. There are many types of rice, and all these varieties share certain qualities in common.
The earliest mention of rice dates way back to 2800 BC. Rice was then used by the emperor’s royal physicians for healing purposes. Starch consists the main bulk of the rice grain, but it also contains protein, albeit in quantities much lower compared to wheat. Rice protein has 8 of the essential amino acids in perfect balance. Also, this is said to be 98% digestible and can be fully digested in an hour.
With its low-fat, low-cholesterol and low-sodium content, it is ideal for the person suffering from high blood pressure and hypertension. Calcium is also present in rice, specifically brown rice, which helps soothe and relax the nervous system. It contains B-complex vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin) which nourish the skin and blood vessels, providing a youthful glow. (If you have a daughter who is somewhat vain, this information will be quite useful.)
Rice is also useful in the treatment of digestive system disorders such as gastritis, gastric ulcer, stomach and intestinal cancer, indigestion and gas in the intestines, to name a few. For children, it is said to be very effective in treating diarrhea. Experts in naturopathy in India recommend a teaspoonful of powdered charred par-boiled rice mixed with a glassful of buttermilk. This is given in doses of 1 ounce for every half hour. It is said to bring excellent results.
3. Wheat
Wheat is more widely used in breads due to the protein called gluten. Starch and the gluten provide energy, the outer bran becomes the fiber that helps in bowel elimination, and the protein helps rebuild and repair muscle tissue. In the process of refining though, the wheat germ – which has vitamin E – is removed. Unfortunately, when this is missing, so does some of the cardiovascular health benefits of wheat. Refined wheat flour also contributes to constipation and other digestive illnesses.
Whole wheat provides the opposite of that. It protects and helps keep you from incurring the following: constipation, heart disease, diverticulum (a disease specific to the colon), diabetes, appendicitis and obesity. It also prevents and cures pyorrhea (inflammation of the gums and tooth sockets leading to loss of teeth), tooth decay and tooth aches. Wheat grass juice, when taken regularly, promotes cell activity and helps detoxify the walls of the colon.

Cooking Healthy for Kids – Tips to Get Them to Eat Well
By Kiera S. Campbell
We as parents would always want to prepare delicious and healthy meals for kids. Unfortunately, some kids turn out to be very picky eaters, and having them eat something good for them can be a challenging, if not a thought-provoking task. Cooking the food and eating them should be always be an enjoyable activity for the one making the food and the one eating them.
To make sure that your kids stay in tip-top shape, here are some pointers to remember. Some of these are taken from “Yummy Healthy Tummy: The Secrets of Raising Healthy Kids Every Parent Needs to Know”:
Eat what you want your kids to eat.
You are what you eat. And your kids see that. As parents, we should become models for our children. If we don’t want them to eat junk food, then they shouldn’t see us gobbling up portions of that. Eating your own cooking will encourage them to eat it too – they won’t feel like you’re overfeeding them with veggies (which they probably see as a poison anyway).
Have regular family meals.
It is said that children who participate in family meals are more likely to eat their fruits and vegetables, less likely to smoke, use marijuana or drink alcohol, and eat unhealthy, too-salty snacks. It’s also the time when the parents catch up on their kids’ lives and reconnect with each other. Bonding and closeness – now what parent wouldn’t want that?
Serve a variety of foods and healthy snacks.
Your children may love pasta, but if you feed them that everyday, then they would eventually get bored and disinterested, even if it is a variety of pasta. Try to make something new everyday, or make a menu. Say like, have some soup today, make some pie tomorrow, or a casserole the next day. Kids get tired of what they see easily. Let your creativity run wild.
Allow kids to help you in your mealtime preparations.
Kids can actually learn to like healthy food if they learn to cook or at least help prepare healthy food. I let my eldest daughter help out in the kitchen from time to time – you know, tearing off the salad greens, or washing carrots or cucumbers. Then when her daddy comes home, she’ll beam proudly and say, “I helped make that.” And then she’ll eat everything on her plate – vegetables, yes, broccoli included.
Remember that healthy cooking isn’t just for kids but for the whole family as well. Invest a little time in preparing your family’s food, and I’m sure, you will be richly rewarded via the smiles, the conversation, the banter and the laughter that you will forever keep as part of a very good memory.

Healthy Kids Meals – Breakfast
By Kiera S. Campbell
Making a healthy kids breakfast can sometimes be a daunting task, especially when you’re barely awake yourself. Plus hearing your kids bickering over who gets the bath first and anything to that effect can put a damper on your nerves. It’s sometimes nerve-wracking that you sometimes resort to just letting the kids have some cereal, milk and they’re on their way to school. Then you berate yourself afterwards because you let the “routine” happen again.
The secret to changing this scenario? According to “Yummy Healthy Tummy: The Secrets of Raising Healthy Kids Every Parent Needs to Know”, plan your morning meals in advance! For example, my kids and I (yep, I include them in the “planning” sessions) have a weekly planner for whatever breakfast we should have for that week. In this way, they always have something to look forward to – even during breakfast.
Sometimes, we make it so that they know what recipes would “come out” within the week, but I have control as to when to serve them. In this way, it keeps some element of surprise and excitement during meal times.
Also, here are some recipes that are sure to perk up any young one’s heart:
Sausage muffin.
-
Heat the skillet.
-
Form some ground sausage into a patty. Put into skillet and cook until deep brown and has a crispy crust.
-
In a bowl, beat 1 egg, a pinch of pepper and a dash of hot sauce until blended.
-
Take out of skillet and drain sausage patty between layers of paper towels. (Get almost all of the grease out if possible.)
-
Pour egg into skillet and cook until set.
-
Put a slice of Cheddar cheese on the top half of the English muffin. Put both halves in oven and heat until cheese melts and the bottom halves are toasted.
-
Put the sausage patty on 1 half, egg, a thick slice of tomato and the cheesy muffin. Good for 1 serving.
Mini Frittatas.
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
Grease a muffin tin with oil or cooking spray.
-
In a bowl, whisk 6 large eggs, 1/3 cup of milk, ½ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of ground pepper, and 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley. Stir in ¼ cup chopped turkey pepperoni.
-
Divide ¾ cup of cheddar cheese among 24 muffin cups.
-
Pour egg mixture over cheese; fill cups to the top.
-
Bake for 10 to 14 minutes until frittatas are puffed and golden brown on top. Cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Makes 24 frittatas.
An adage says that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. You can actually apply that to your kid. Pretty soon, he’ll be in tip-top shape because of the healthy dishes you’ll be serving him – and he wouldn’t even notice unless he gives it some thought.

Healthy Heart Kids – Chicken Recipes
By Kiera S. Campbell
In recent times, a revolution has been happening in kitchens in households everywhere - and that is a revolution towards raising healthy heart kids. It is alarming to note how people who are afflicted with heart disease and diabetes are becoming younger and younger. And what’s sad about it is that these diseases are easily preventable with the right diet and an active and healthy lifestyle.
We all know that the earlier we can teach our kids to enjoy healthy food, the greater our chances of lowering their risk for these deadly diseases. According to “Yummy Healthy Tummy: The Secrets of Raising Healthy Kids Every Parent Needs to Know”, with the right mindset and tools, parents can teach children to make healthy food choices and to actually love and enjoy healthy food. It all starts in the home, though, in our kitchens and on our dining tables.
One popular food item that can be our ally in the goal of raising healthy heart kids is skinless chicken breast. Chicken breast is known as the leanest part of the chicken. Using this portion in your chicken based dishes can help keep cholesterol levels in check.
Here are a couple of chicken based recipes you can try today:
Cheesy Chicken Pasta.
Ingredients:
8 oz whole wheat penne
2 cups cauliflower florets (1/2 inch)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup finely chopped onion
3 cups milk
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
¾ teaspoons of salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
3 cups shredded cooked (or poached) chicken breast (turkey can also be a substitute)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or scallion greens.
Procedure:
-
Cook penne, and cauliflower until pasta and florets are tender – a good 9 minutes. Drain, rinse, and et aside.
-
In a large saucepan, heat oil and sauté onion. Add just a little water (about 1/8 cup will do).
-
In a bowl, whisk milk, flour, salt and pepper; add this to the onion.
-
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook until thickened for about a minute.
-
Stir in cheese until smooth.
-
Put in chicken and mustard into sauce and cook for not more than 5 minutes. Stir sauce into pasta and cauliflower. Sprinkle chives on top.
Chicken Meatballs in Tomato Sauce.
Ingredients:
1 pound chicken breast - cut into chunks
1 cup white bread crumbs
¼ cup of milk
1 large egg white
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¾ teaspoon dried oregano
salt and ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 can whole tomatoes.
Procedure:
-
For the meatballs, ground chicken in food processor. (Note: You can buy ground chicken, but sometimes they include chicken skin. So to make sure that its fat-less, it would be best to do it yourself.)
-
Put in bread crumbs, milk, egg white, cheese, oregano, salt and pepper. Shape into 12 meatballs.
-
Cook in skillet and olive oil until golden brown.
-
Puree tomatoes, add to meatballs and bring to a boil. Simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes.

Healthy Breakfast – Kids on Eggs and Sandwich Delights
By Kiera S. Campbell
For some, children and nutrition needs can be addressed by the first meal of the day – breakfast. According to “Yummy Healthy Tummy: The Secrets of Raising Healthy Kids Every Parent Needs to Know”, this meal is the most important as it decides all your eating patterns for the rest of the day. If you eat less than the necessary nutrients which should be enough to equip you until lunch (or at least until the mid-morning snack), then you would get hungry at an earlier time, putting your system and eating habits out of whack.
For this article, I asked my kids and their friends (mostly the neighbor kids) as to what they really wanted for breakfast. They unanimously said that they are partial to eggs and sandwiches because it’s not messy to eat, easy to prepare and if there’s no more time, they can usually bring it to the school bus so that they could just eat it there.
Letting them browse through my recipe directory, here are their top picks:
Frittatas.
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
Heat oven-safe skillet over medium high heat.
-
Fry 1 lb of mild Italian turkey sausage (sold at your local deli), and brown on all sides.
-
Add 2 cups of frozen hash browns, some onions and bell peppers. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes.
-
In a bowl, whisk 6 eggs, ½ cup of milk, ½ teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper. Pour over hash browns and sausage. Cook until almost set.
-
Sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and transfer to preheated oven. Cook until the cheese has melted.
Bacon Sandwich.
-
Split English muffins in half and toast.
-
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add 2 pieces of bacon. (Beware the oil splatter.) Cook until crisp, turning once. Drain bacon on paper towels.
-
Scramble 2 eggs. (Don’t forget to add some salt and pepper to taste!) Cook eggs in pan until eggs are set. Remove from heat.
-
Put a slice of cheese, a piece of bacon and half of the egg on top of one English muffin half. Cover with the other half of the muffin for a perfect sandwich.
Egg sandwich.
-
Mix 1 tablespoon of cream cheese, 1 teaspoon of mustard, and ½ teaspoon of chopped fresh dill. Spread over toasted bread.
-
On one slice, layer with some sliced hard-boiled egg, a tomato slice, and a dash of salt and pepper. Cover using the other slice of bread.
My daughter has a variation of this as she wants to add a slice of cheese and a romaine lettuce leaf to it before eating.
Having a healthy breakfast is no big deal. Allow your child to decide on what to eat (as long as you pre-screened the choices) – this will ensure that she won’t go to class with an empty, growling tummy.

An Easy Guide to Children’s Healthy Eating
By Kiera S. Campbell
The variety of food in the market these days is mind boggling. But it’s alarming to note that most of these sacrifice the health and nutrition for young children in favor of enhancing the flavor and commercial appeal of these products. Packed chips/snacks and fast-food cooking taken with carbonated drinks appeal very much to kids of today. Give them the slightest motivation and they’ll choose those over healthier options. Plus, the pressure from us parents to eat healthy (though well-meaning) tends to leave them frustrated and often times defiant.
The key to getting your children to love healthy food, according to “Yummy Healthy Tummy: The Secrets of Raising Healthy Kids Every Parent Needs to Know”, is to start them young. Habits are formed at home. And if you set out to have a healthy lifestyle right from the start, then it makes it easier for your children to adopt this lifestyle for life.
So how exactly do you encourage your child to eat right? Here are some tips towards molding children’s healthy eating habits.
-
You have to eat healthy too. Children tend to imitate what they see. If they see you snacking on chocolates every time you take a break from work, they will most likely do the same. If they see you chomping on some carrots dipped in cream cheese, then they may think that eating their veggies aren’t so bad after all. Show them that eating healthy isn’t all talk; if you can do it, then they shouldn’t be scared to try it too.
-
Have a lot of healthy food lying “conveniently” in the kitchen. I used to have a candy bowl in our living room. My eldest would usually put some candy in her pocket before leaving for school. She would also bring a handful of sweets just before going to the local park to play. Now, my candy bowl has those cubed, individually-wrapped cheeses which both my kids and their guests enjoy immensely. I also have some pre-cut bread on the kitchen counter with a note that some homemade sandwich spread or some cottage cheese is in the refrigerator. As long as kids can see where the food is and they have easy access to it, they will be encouraged to try it for themselves.
-
Get the kids involved in menu planning. Children sometimes have self-esteem issues; getting them to help out in planning the weekly menu boosts their confidence. Before you do that though, have some recipes laid out so that they can pick out which is most appealing to them. (Of course, the recipes you should ask them to pick will be pre-screened by you – so naturally, they’re going to be healthy.)
-
Do grocery-shopping with the kids. Almost all kids want to go out. So at the first sign of boredom, ask them to go with you on a shopping spree (especially if you’ve just been through menu planning). This is a great way to bond, and at the same time, you can “subtly” teach them about what foods are considered healthy. As a treat, you can also give them the chance to pick out the ingredients for a dessert – something that they can actually help you make.
-
Snack time. Making kids’ snacks is not as difficult as it may seem. You can go from a simple bag of nuts, dried fruit and muesli to some sandwiches specifically adjusted to their taste. You can make fruit smoothies for them as an energy booster, especially if you have an active child. My youngest loves yoghurt, so I make sure I have an ample supply in the fridge. Find out what your child likes. Chips are almost never an option, and cannot be a substitute for a healthy snack.
All in all, it’s not hard to make children learn healthy food habits. Start looking for clues on how to trigger curiosity and interest in your child, and be unrelenting – take it from there.

5 Easy Healthy Snacks for an On-the-Go Kid<
By Kiera S. Campbell
Children and healthy eating may seem to be an impossible mix for some parents. That’s especially if your child is a bit hyper and always on-the-go – always out because of school activities, sports, music, socializing, etc. WIth this active lifestyle, it becomes imperative, now more than ever, to make sure our children realize the value of making healthy food choices and how to actually make these choices.
Books, such as “Yummy Healthy Tummy: The Secrets of Raising Healthy Kids Every Parent Needs to Know” has become popular these days because it teaches parents how to teach their kids to love healthy food and make healthy food choices. Children and healthy eating can go hand in hand, and more easily so if they start young and if this is something reinforced by everyone at home.
When it comes to our kids’ food, we usually place the most emphasis on what they eat during meal times. But did you know that while they may be eating healthy, 3-meals-a-day, that a third of their daily calorie intake comes from snacks alone? Snack time cannot be disregarded as they play an important role in replenishing our kids’ energy reserves.
So while pizza and the different variations of it are okay (especially since you can introduce some fruits and vegetables there), there are other snack treats a child can eat at home or bring with him when he’s out and about.
Fruit and veggie dip.
One thing I learned is that children immediately shy away (or more accurately, scurry away) when fruits or vegetables are concerned. It may be due to an innate abhorrence of a particular vegetable (possibly spawned from a traumatic experience in early childhood) or it’s just a need to rebel a little. Whatever the reason, it is good to note that you don’t need to force it, but you can try offering them in a different way.
You can try slicing or cutting up some vegetable sticks (carrots, celery, etc.) or some fruit wedges (pears, apples, etc.); surround a small bowl of dip with those pieces. Your dip can range from salad dressings to cream cheese to yoghurt, etc. Just make sure that your child is into the dip for him to be able to enjoy it.
Smoothies and juices.
Again, with fruits and vegetables, offer it in a different way. You can try making juices or smoothies out of them. That way, your child won’t even mind it. All they know is that they are slushing down some cold, enjoyable, frothy and oftentimes creamy treats that they may even think they got you there (not knowing that they’ve actually been had). Plus, it’s easy to prepare: Blend everything together (fruit, milk or yoghurt, ice, etc.) and you’ll have a glass ready to be dunked in no time at all. This is just perfect for that after-school delight.
Sandwiches with a twist.
Regular sandwiches lose popularity with kids, especially with the emergence of commercially-bought sandwich spreads. Try to add a little touch of ingenuity by having some chicken breast fillet or some turkey meat rolled in tortillas or pita bread. You can even put some cheese or mustard if you want. You can slice them in half; this will be good for your child especially if he can’t eat much because of a sport that he’s about to engage in.
Nut pack.
Have a zip-lock bag handy for this next snack: a nut and fruit mix. You can have some nuts, raisins, dried fruits, sunflower seeds, some muesli, etc, put them in a bag and give it to your child. Aside from having a healthy snack, your child will be beaming with pride and may even show-off his “goodies” to an envious classmate.
Store-bought healthy packs.
If you are a working mom, most likely you have bought snacks for your kids instead of preparing them. I don’t blame you since I know the feeling; it’s sometimes hard to balance work and home life. Single-pack yoghurts are a good buy, as well as some cheeses, cans of soup (but check the label to be sure) and whole grain crackers.
Let your creativity run with you when thinking up snacks for your children. The more creative you are, the more curious they’ll be, and the more likely that they’ll eat the goodies wholeheartedly.
