Kids Kitchen

It's once again time for Kids Kitchen! This week we began our quest at the farmers market, tasting and choosing what fruit would be perfect for our Busy Morning Smoothie. Each vendor had beautiful, unique and very fresh produce to offer. In the end the ripe mango and deep red locally grown strawberries caught our attention, we placed them in our market bag and continued on....

The Busy Morning Smoothie is born, the perfect and simple way to send your family out the door in the morning, secure in the fact that they started their day out right!

SJgourmet is proud to announce KidsKitchen! A weekly video cooking show produced, edited and hosted by my lovely little girl.





KidsKitchen is a creation of my daughters to showcase her new found love of cooking and film making. The goal of KidsKitchen is to teach other kids the joy of cooking with simple easy to follow recipes they can make. It also gives parents a chance to spend quality time cooking and bonding with their child. In our busy daily lives who wouldn't love spending a little more one on one time with their kids?

Each Sunday SJgourmet will feature one of her cooking videos and I will post the recipe and a few of my own photos to go with it.


We hope you enjoy !
