Red and Blue Oven Roasted Potatoes
Getting kids involved in cooking is the key to getting them interested in eating healthy and trying a variety of different things. When we go to the farmer’s market I have them pick out one ingredient and then we’ll use that ingredients to come up with a recipe together. This week the Kid chose Blue Potatoes and the Baby chose Red ones. Potato side dish, it is!
Potatoes and bacon go hand in hand, the flavor can’t be beat. Oven roasting the potatoes was an easy choice to showcase the colorful spuds. Getting kids interested in ingredients and cooking will make them eager to be adventurous in their meals!
