Commit to Fit! Cooking with Kids

The Commit to Fit! Cooking with Kids is a free program that teaches families about healthy eating and preparing affordable foods from diverse cultures. This evidence-based program empowers children and families to make healthy food choices through hands-on learning with fresh local foods and simple recipes. Participating families are provided with weekly incentives, nutrition resources, and a cook book at the end of the four week program that focuses on preparing health meals on $4 or less a day per person. The classes meet once week and days as well as times vary throughout the year.

Commit to Fit! Cooking with Kids Recipes Include:
• Cuban beans with yellow rice, pineapple-banana salad, and green salad with lime dressing
• Potato pancakes with homemade applesauce
• Vegetable paella with Mediterranean flatbread
• Minestrone with breadsticks and fresh spinach salad
• Ethiopian lentils and cucumber yogurt salad
• Japanese rice bowl with crunchy cabbage salad

Parent’s Favorite Parts of the Commit to Fit! Cooking with Kids Program

• “I loved how kids can help in chopping and stirring of meals. Now my kids look for healthy foods to eat.”
• “My favorite part was seeing my children willing and eager to cook and eat different foods.”
• “Everything especially that we got to try new foods and learn new things.”
