Creative food is good for kids

Allowing your kids to be creative is great for their minds and leadership. Here are some benefits to why cooking with your kids is great:

• develops an adventurous eater: the best advantage the kids can take away from cooking is being adventurous and varied taste palette. I always say if you want your kids to be world leaders, or someone who isn't stuck in old patterns, teach them how to cook and taste different food. From our mouths, we can alter our mindset and climate change. Start them young and the return they (and you) will receive will be hugely impactful. 
• Life skill: We all will learn to cook for ourselves one day or another. Starting them young can help them be well adapted to adulthood.
• Health: Research has found children who eat most often at home with home cooked meals, tend to be happier and healthier. It also limits their intake of sugar, fat, and processed food. 

What you need to make this Halloween Breakfast Bowl

Prepping the bowl

1. Steam the purple yam in a steamer pot for 10 minutes. Let it cool and then peel the skin off. Using a star cookie cutter, or using a knife, cut a star shape, around 3 pieces. Doesn't have to have 5 angles, create the type of star you want. 

2. Cook your oatmeal the way you like it. I like to add a pinch of cinnamon and a little bit of sugar (1 tsp). For smoother consistency: once the oatmeal is done about to turn the heat off, I put in an egg and stir it into the hot meal and let it cook through that way. 

3. Slice the kiwi

4. cut half the banana and peel the skin off.

Arranging the breakfast bowl 

1. In a shallow bowl, add about 1.5 cups of oatmeal. Then add half a cup of milk. Don't stir the milk in, let it float on top of the oatmeal.

2. Place the banana on the side of the bowl.

3. Place yogurt on the other side of the bowl, opposite the banana.

4. Arrange the pecan nuts on top of the yogurt and along the side of the bowl.

5. Sprinkle bee pollen on top of yogurt.

6. Place the kiwi at the bottom of the bowl and add some sunflower seeds on top.

7. Finally add chocolate chips for the eye on the banana, and some Hersey Kisses on the side of the bowl.
