How Did Nouveau Nutrition for Kids Start?

You know, it's funny looking back. About eight years ago, I just had this little idea – wouldn't it be cool to run a Healthy Kids Cooking Class for a couple of weeks that summer in my hometown in Connecticut?

I figured, why not?

Week one, I had 2 sweet kids show up. Week two? 5! My heart did a little leap, I tell you. They were just so into it, these little ones and I was too. Asking all sorts of questions about making a healthier mac and cheese, and honestly, they gobbled up those black bean brownies like they were the best thing ever.

Something just clicked.

Honestly, there's something so special about watching a kid who's usually a bit 'particular' with their food suddenly get brave and try something new. And then, the photos start trickling in from parents – their kids, beaming, making the recipes at home!

But the real magic? When a parent tells me their child is actually excited to try new foods now.

The absolute best thing I can hear in class?

'I don't like it... I LOVE it.'

Pure bliss!
