It is not spicy, I kept the chili very simple and preparation does not require any knife use. The dish I'm sharing today, was created with kids in mind. As long as she gets to help in some way, she is happy, and enjoys the results that much more. In the meantime, she get most of her hands on actions with the "squishy" jobs she loves like stretching pizza dough and making cookies. By teaching her the preparations, she will already know what to do, when her body catches up with her mind. She "gets" far more than she can express or physically complete at this time. We also count items together, and I show her measurements. She watches me closely, so is pretty good at gathering ingredients for dishes she has seen me make before ( especially those she likes). She loves helping me in the kitchen, but has motor control difficulties in addition to her communication struggles, so I keep her cooking participation away from the stove. She does enjoy macaroni and cheese though, and the new Horizon Organic Gluten-free Mac went over very well with her. Don't think I get off easy though, she is an excruciatingly fussy eater. My seven year old daughter is autistic, and while she doesn't have any allergies, many of her little friends do. While many kids in general have food sensitivities, special needs kids seem to have them even more frequently. Sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Horizon Organics.
