The Pantry
Before I started Cooking with My Kid, I encouraged my kid to try new things by likening it to something he’d had before. Especially if the ingredients were similar. Back then, this was a hit or miss tactic. Now that he actually sees the ingredients going into the bowl he is a believer. Meaning, he is much more likely to try new things that have ingredients in common with things we’ve made (and liked) in the past. I’ve noticed a pattern of things that work over and over and therefore keep these items in the house at all times.
