Kids in the Kitchen
“The Junior League of Battle Creek is working to find
ways to help our community make healthier choices. Kids
in the Kitchen is just one way to help parents engage their children
in making healthy meals and exercising while having fun” said Kate
Segal, Chair of the Nutrition Project for the Junior League of Battle
Creek.
Children participating in this year’s event had
a full morning of activities at
Springfield
Middle
School. The morning started with Mary Proulx, Lauren Zima and Jenna
Lambert from the Battle Creek Family YMCA leading the children through a
fun dance exercise routine. All
the kids actively participated and built up an appetite.
Celebrity Chef Sean Kelly with BiCi Bistro then taught
the children and their parents how to make healthy pizza and snacks. With the generous donation of food from
Bill Morris and the Hunt Club, each child and parent made their own
individual whole wheat pizza topped with fresh vegetable toppings. While the pizzas were cooking, Chef
Kelly helped the children make their own granola snack mix for a healthy
snack on-the-go. Click here to learn more about
