Little hands can be a big help in the kitchen. Scooping and stirring and licking the spoon–learning to cook isn’t just fun, it teaches healthy eating habits that stick for life, before kids are even tall enough to reach the stove. Break out the tiny aprons and set up a simply topping buffet. Stuffed apples are easy enough for all ages and make the perfect nutritious snack this time of year.
