Kids will prepare for the season with hearty, tasty, and savory dishes. It's harvest time, and many of our favorite veggies and fruits are in season, and ready to use, some right from our Farm gardens. Sweet potatoes, squash, pumpkin, apples, and more. We will use these crops in our recipes, such as Maple-Roasted Chicken with Acorn Squash, Sweet Potato Fries, Apple & Pear Tarts, Zucchini & Cheese Drop Biscuits, and Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake Bars.

Why is it that bite sized food is just so much more fun to eat? It’s amazing how the cuteness of its size makes it taste better. These bite-sized recipes make eating an enjoyable experience for the littles!

Kids tend to appreciate things on a scale that makes them feel larger, and they are more likely to enjoy a meal if they have had a hand in the making. Think: breakfasts, like mini quiche, mini pancakes, mini egg sandwiches; mini entrees like taco bites, mini pizza rolls, mini lasagna; and bite-sized desserts, such as mini cheese cakes, mini muffins, mini pudding cups.

Join Chef Robyn for cooking, baking, and food experimentation creating “Everything Mini,” where she will put kids on their way to understanding the appeal of delicious food.
