COOK THE RAINBOW CHALLENGE!

September is National Fruits & Veggies Month, and we want to see your little chefs in the kitchen.

This month, we're challenging kids to cook, create & explore with fruits and veggies!

Here's how to join:
🍓 Cook something with a fruit or veggie
📸 Snap a picture or video
📲 Post it & tag

It doesn't have to be fancy! Making a smoothie, washing veggies, helping make dinner, trying a new food, or creating their own snack all count.

At the end of September, we'll randomly pick ONE little chef to win a culinary tool prize pack + $25 gift card! 🥳

Let's get our kids cooking, tasting & exploring! (No age limit for this challenge-- get your teens cooking).

Our recipe cards are more than just a recipe. They’re a tool to help kids learn!

We use visual recipe cards to help kids follow along, recognize ingredients, understand each step, and build confidence in the kitchen. Having the recipe right in front of them makes cooking feel more approachable and helps turn little chefs into independent learners.

And the best part? They get to take their recipe card home!

Each class adds a new recipe to their collection, allowing them to slowly build their very own Kids Kitchen recipe book—filled with foods they’ve made, memories they’ve created, and skills they’ve learned along the way.

Because we want kids to do more than just cook with us… we want to give them the confidence to keep cooking at home.

How many recipe cards have you collected from our classes?

August is National Wellness Month!

Wellness doesn’t have to be complicated—and it can be fun for the whole family!

This month, we’re challenging families to cook, explore, and connect together with 5 simple wellness challenges:

1. Try Something New
Pick one fruit, vegetable, grain, or recipe you’ve never tried before. Taste it together! (Check out the recipe below)

2. Cook Together
Choose one meal or snack and let your child help with the cooking. Give them a job they can own!

3. Eat the Rainbow
See how many different colors of fruits and vegetables you can add to a meal or snack.

4. Explore Without Pressure
Choose a food your child doesn’t usually eat. Look at it, smell it, touch it, and—if they want—taste it. No pressure to like it!

5. Share a Family Meal
Put the phones away, sit together, and enjoy a meal as a family. Talk, laugh, and connect!

What makes Kids Kitchen Academy special is that we don’t just focus on building cooking skills. We dive into culinary and nutrition education, too. We learn about food beyond its taste, smell, and texture, exploring where it comes from, how it nourishes our bodies, and why it matters.

Building a strong foundation for lifelong health is a goal we hope to continue to support in our community.

As many of you know, baby #4 will be arriving this month! ❤️ I'll be taking some time to slow down and soak in these precious moments.

I hope to be back to hosting cooking classes before the holidays! If you know me well, you also know that even while I'm away, I'll probably be working behind the scenes on projects and creating new partnerships.

One of those projects is continuing to build out the mobile teaching kitchen. It's a goal I've been working toward for a while, and I'm excited to keep building momentum.

If you're able to donate, thank you for your support. If not, sharing our post is just as appreciated. Thank you for supporting Kids Kitchen Academy!

An OG Kids Kitchen Academy recipe, Lemon Orzo with Asparagus (added protein)! This is one that so many of our KKA families still make at home—and that makes me SO happy!

Our hope is that the skills and recipes kids learn in class follow them home and become part of family meals and memories for years to come.

Here’s to cooking yummy food, making a mess, and creating a love for the kitchen.

It's never just about the recipe. It's every little step along the way that becomes something so much bigger.

Watching a child proudly show off their plate, hearing them say, "I actually like this!" or asking their parents to buy the ingredients so they can make it again—those are the moments that matter.

That's where lasting change begins.

When kids get curious about food, and get excited to recreate what they've made, they're developing habits that can positively shape their health.

We’re thrilled to announce our newest project — the Mobile Cooking Studio, a fully equipped traveling classroom designed to bring hands‑on cooking, nutrition education, and food exploration directly to children across our community.

This future mobile space will allow us to reach more families, partner with more schools, and make healthy eating accessible no matter where kids live, learn, or play.

To bring this vision to life, we’re launching: The Mobile Studio Campaign. These funds will support the build‑out and equipment needed to take Kids Kitchen Academy on the road. Every contribution helps us expand access, spark curiosity, and empower the next generation of confident, healthy eaters.

Together, we can make this mobile studio a reality — and bring farm‑to‑table learning, cooking skills, and nutrition fun straight to the heart of our rural community.

To donate or learn how you can be part of our the project, please contact Violeta Martinez at 979‑505‑1599.
