In this episode of Healthy Family Project, we talk to Kiran Dodeja Smith of Easy Real Food about easy ways to get your kids in the kitchen this summer. Let’s face it – summer camps are expensive! Kiran is here to talk about easy ways to get kids in the kitchen with her new at-home summer camp – Camp Kitchen!

Kiran give easy recommendations to getting kids in the kitchen during the downtime of summer, how parents can be motivated to make it happen, age-appropriate kitchen tasks and ways to work around allergies. 

Kiran is the mom of four kids under the age of 13, an influencer marketing manager, and a holistic health coach. Her site, EasyRealFood.com focuses on real ingredients and helps families ensure they are eating whole nutritious meals.

With a busy household herself, she wants to help others not feel the stress that so many often do when it comes to meal planning and eating healthfully.
