Chef Boyardee The Little Chefs Project e-book!
I’m so excited to share the fabulous e-book I was able to help create along with a group of my fellow bloggers and TheMotherhood. The The Little Chefs Project e-book features a collection of tips, tricks, and recipes and turned out to be a great resource that I’m proud to have been a part of! This project was inspired around topics on helping to encourage and enjoy family time together in the kitchen. Check out the great topics you’ll see inside:
- Chapter 1: Feel Like a Kid Again
- Chapter 2: Teachable Moments
- Chapter 3: Everyday Fun
- Chapter 4: Family Time
- Chapter 5: Fun with Flavors
- Chapter 6: Family Traditions

I was a contributor for the “Fun with Flavors” chapter, here’s my tip: “To help my picky eaters be more willing to eat the foods we have prepared, we have learned to slowly and consistently introduce new vegetables. My husband loves cooking with peppers, onion, garlic, spinach, and tomatoes. My kids would see something they weren’t used to eating and immediately say they ‘didn’t like it’. However, we have continued adding in these ingredients and now they are so used to seeing them in the recipes we prepare that they are used to them and some they have even come to like!”

To celebrate the fun tips featured during each of the six chapters, TheMotherhood will be hosting a series of Cook-Along live chats! Every Thursday from now through November 15th at 2:00 pm ET you can join in on the fun and chat with some of the great bloggers behind each of the chapters.
Disclosure: I received Chef Boyardee samples and a stipend for my participation in this project with TheMotherhood. The opinions expressed above are my own and any claims should be verified on the sponsor’s site.
