Note:
Kids in the Kitchen:
Kids love to grate carrots. Let them grate to their hearts' content by using a special "knuckle protector." Simply fold a washcloth in half (diagonally), wrap around knuckles (on the "half line"), and fasten with a big broccoli rubber band!
Let the wee ones press the button on the food processor and watch the veggies whiz 'round and 'round.
Try adding 1 tablespoon of flax seed oil to the schmear for more "schmearability" - and a brain boost (good Essential Fatty Acids!)
