This week's recipe was submitted to us by 9 and a half year old Sara in Hanover Park, Illinois.
Sara's Mom says, "An adult helper can slice carrots if child is too young to handle the sharp paring knife. Sara prefers to NOT toss the salad and squeezes 1 tablespoon of juice from the orange wedges as her dressing...This is a kid created, tested and approved salad.
ENJOY!".

Let's Get Cooking!
While there are many reasons for teaching kids to cook -- less expensive than eating out, preserves family heritage, etc, the most important
reason is that by teaching your child to cook, you're giving him a better chance to be a healthy grown-up. Enabling your child with the ability
to appreciate freshness and to transform ingredients into tasty foods opens their eyes to making wiser choices about what to eat...
