As you all know, food has become a significant part of my coverage on NKT. The foods we eat and cook and the eating habits we display, ultimately, help our kids to make healthier choices.
For me, cooking resources on the internet and tv help me to navigate in the kitchen. I’ve always been big on cooking, baking and eating, but online sites, magazines and shows underscore just how much I enjoy being in the kitchen. I could seriously watch Food Network for hours and daydream about these professional cooks and chefs coming to my house to cook for me! But good news, though these fantastic chefs can’t come to my house, but there are “real” parents who can—well, sort of!
TheMotherhood’s Cooking Connections, an awesome and innovative eight-week series of virtual cooking classes is launching today. In this series of virtual cooking classes, “real” moms and dads will lead us in their kitchens, to help us learn more about topics relevant to parents. The conversations, led by some of my favorite bloggers, will leverage social media outlets such as Twitter, Facebook and TheMotherhood.com.
Sponsored by ConAgra Foods, Cooking Connections is launching today, actually at 1:00 pm at the Blissdom Conference that’s going on right now in Nashville.
I love, love, love TheMotherhood and all the wonderful things that they’re doing around our community. Cooking Connections will, no doubt, be just as successful as their other projects. I’m excited to be participating in the cooking class that focuses on picky eaters. “Placating Picky Eaters” will take place in a few weeks, and I’ll be sure to share more about it soon. By the way, TheMotherhood, Emily McKhann and 77Kids by American Eagle got a nod in Forbes for the inspiring Do Good Day campaign that tapped bloggers around the country to pay it forward.
