When kids want to bake cookies, cakes, bars, and other goodies, we parents often worry about 3 things:

  1. Our waistlines
  2. Our kids’ sugar intake
  3. The mess they’ll make (and what if they ruin the recipe?)

It’s great that the child is interested in the kitchen, but sometimes we just want to say: “No honey, I just don’t have the energy.” 

Problem: If we teach them the kitchen is no place for them, they won’t want to help us with other cooking tasks —so let’s start with what they want and be savvy parents who can pull them in further! 

Our friend Katie Kimball is here to help! Many years ago, I was connected with Katie Kimball, a mom of 4 and long-time Holy Heroes fan, who has taught thousands of families how to cook and tens of thousands of kids to (gulp) use sharp knives safely (we took this short course with our kids years ago).

She’s taught almost 50,000 kids through her cooking classes at Kids Cook Real Foodand we have used her free healthy snack recipe download over the years!

This November, she’s calling all those kids who just want to bake.

Good news: This won’t be a food-coloring-sugar-high-sprinkle-fest with one-inch thick frosting!

(Did you see the “Real” in her class name?)

Katie’s enrolling kids NOW in a new Holiday Baking Challenge.

Your kids can build basic skills they’ll need for all the recipes they “search up” to feed their sweet tooth, BUT the recipes demonstrated in the lessons are leveled up, including:

  • Whole grains
  • Vegetables 
  • Less sweetener

Katie’s 4 kids join her for pro-filmed videos so you all can learn “together”! As a family who also works together, we love this model!!

If you’re ready for your kids to gain baking independence without sacrificing all the healthy standards you value: 

Also–Katie is extending her Cyber Monday sale with 50% off one of her favorite resources! This is such a great parenting resource to have in your back pocket (grandparents: perhaps gift this to your grandkids??)

Another parenting resource we always like to share:
