ParentMap and PCC Natural Markets have partnered to produce an exciting web series called Healthy Kids Cook, designed to encourage families to make a healthy habit of cooking fresh food together in the kitchen, and to help explore the farm-to-table journey of some of your favorite foods.
PCC Natural Markets partners with Seattle Children's Organic Garden programs; in this video, Chef Jackie visits with the garden manager and harvests some fresh vegetables with her helpers Mason and Bailey, then they head to the TasteMobile to assemble their simple and tasty Super Salads. Here's to health!
