Tips for cooking with Rad-Kids:
Kids can measure, mix, mold, and "paint" sauce onto the heart-shaped meatloaf.
Food is art! Make a connection between sculptors and chefs - in this recipe, Rad-Kids use their hands to mold and sculpt food into the shape of a heart.
This recipe is a great time to teach proper sanitation while working with raw meat. Discuss the importance of washing hands and avoiding cross-contamination. Visit our safety tips for more information.
