Note:
Kids in the Kitchen:
Creamy Cukes are appealing to even the most veggie-phobic children!
Most kids are ready (safe) to use the vegetable peeler around 5-7 years old. Cucumbers are easy to peel with a hand held peeler, and a great practice for more challenging veggies (like potatoes). Creamy Cukes are fun to make and so easy to keep the fat content low by choosing nonfat plain organic yogurt and Organic Valley Lowfat Sour Cream.
