Parents of Children

Raising adventurous eaters is a goal for many parents. Whether that means expanding their palates for cultural cuisines or simply keeping an open mind for new twists on lunchbox favorites, one way to keep kids interested is to involve them in the cooking process.

Nutrition and feeding experts agree that in addition to including kids in the kitchen, pairing a familiar food with an unfamiliar one can help expose kids to new flavors. Peanuts are a comfortable food to many children around the world and the flavor options go well beyond the traditional (yet beloved!) PB&J. The National Peanut Board is excited to help parents raise more adventurous eaters through delicious and nutrient-dense recipe ideas that help kids get curious about new foods. Here you will find a collection of recipes that allow kids to be involved in the kitchen with adult-supervised, yet easy-to-follow steps and cooking methods suitable for budding chefs.
