Easter meals in the kitchen with kids the easy way

Easter is an opportunity to share a fabulous cooking experience with kids. When kids learn about cooking, baking and preparing foods, they also learn which foods are healthiest for them and which foods are just a treat. Encouraging healthy foods for Easter time is a challenge when the stores are inundated with candy, cake and chocolate.

You can find Easter recipes in the Campbell's Kitchen online. Campbells displays an array of recipes to create, along with photos. The recipes are simple and easy to make.

Brunch is the most popular of meal times for a family Easter gathering and here a few recipes to consider; Ham Spinach Fiesta Crepes, Baked Monte Cristo Sandwiches, Meyer Lemon-Asparagus Galette, Farmer's Breakfast Tart, Carrot Spice Muffins and many more can be found at this link.

Easter Sunday supper ideas are great for every Sunday during spring and early summer months. Find the following recipes online; Savory Vegetables, Classic Bean Casserole, New Potatoes and Peas and many more supper recipes can be found at this link.

Campbell's has been a traditional favorite for teaching children to cook healthy with minimal healthy ingredients. Simply purchase the prepared required ingredients per recipe, add together and you have a great meal. Be sure to share the label's nutritional facts from all the items each recipe calls for. Try their low sodium line of soups when cooking or baking.

Kids love learning and they love food, teaching them easy cooking steps provides them with nutritional life skills they will not learn in school. It may also lead them into further adventures in cooking from basic ingredients.

Etiquette in meal planning is fun to learn. Build a better buffet with this article from Campbell's website. Learn about table placement, vertical interest, flow and early set-up. Teach kids how to better entertain and assist the family in setting up for the big event on Easter Sunday.

Visit the Campbell's Savings Center online and discover coupons for groceries that are a part of the meal plan. Be sure to allow kids to print and cut out these coupons and travel to the store to buy the Easter groceries. Kids love adventure!

Campbell's features an Eating Smart section to their webpage. You will find sections on Nutrition and Wellness, Dietary Guidelines in Action, Portion Control, Snacking Ideas, East More Color, Smart Shopping, Cooking Tips. Read each section throuroughly and indulge yourself in eating smart.

You can find other meal plans and holiday ideas on the Campbell's website, be sure to save your Labels for Education and turn them into your local school.

You can view the USDA's dietary guidelines for kids at this link. Be sure to print it and place it on the refrigerator. The dietary guidelines is a helpful reminder for the family to stay healthy.

When building your meal plan with your children, use fresh vegetables and fruits. If fresh produce is not available, then resort to the frozen food section of your store for optimal nutritional value in your food. Here is a brief article by Eating Well on fresh versus frozen produce.

A healthy child is a happy child!

Happy Easter.
