Kids Cooking With Colten Videos

This summer has been so enjoyable. We have been going through the home study called A Simple Summer and we are loving it. This week we are studying ponds. The activity was to make Beaver Dam Cookies. Colten had fun making them. We will post a full video on YouTube, but for now, enjoy the highlights. Ingredients: 2 c. Gluten Free pretzels 1 1/2 c @enjoylifefoods mini chocolate chips 1 c creamy nut or seed butter 1/2 c unsweetened shredded coconut 2 TBSP softened coconut oil 1 pinch of salt (we didn’t do this because pretzels were already salty) Instructions: 1) Add all ingredients except pretzels to a large pot and cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until everything is melted together. 2) Add pretzels and stir 3) Cover large cookie sheet with parchment paper and spoon heaping tablespoons of cookie mixture onto the parchment paper. 4) Place cookies in the freezer for about 20 minutes until they firm up, then store cookies in the refrigerator for up to 5 days- THEY WONT LAST THAT LONG BECAUSE THEY ARE SO GOOD 😋 Recipe by @brighterdaypress #glutenfreerecipe #dairyfreerecipes #beaverdamcookies #learningisfun #cookingwithkids #kidssnacks #homeschoolfun

Healthy Gummies Ingredients: -32 oz org-32 oz organic juice or puree -4 TBSP MCT Oil -2 TBSP organic, raw honey -10 to 12 TBSP Grass-fed gelatin (vitalproteins) Instructions: -Pour juice into a pan -Add MCT oil and honey and stir -Bring all the contents to a boil -Once boiling, turn off heat and let sit for 3 min. -Have your gelatin already measured out into a cup that pours easily because it clumps. Pour your gelatin slowly into the juice mixture and stir constantly. -Once incorporated, pour into molds or 9x13 glass pan -Place in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours -Remove from the molds or cut into small pieces -Place in an air-tight container and store in the refrigerator for up to a week. I love these easy, healthy snacks for our kids. They full of great nutrients that help heal our guts. Grass-fed gelatin helps improve digestion, heals the intestinal track which helps reduce and calm inflammation in the body, it contains important amino acids, and helps skin, joints, and the immune system. The MCT oil helps to add good fat and also carries anti-fungal/viral/bacteria properties. I’m going to do a whole podcast on why these two things are really important for kids on the spectrum. #grassfedgummies #guthealth #gutbrainconnectionASD #ASDawareness #healthysnacks #kidseathealthy #foodforhealing #autismawareness
