Top Chefs Announced in 'Cooking With Kids' Contest!

Participants from around the country submitted their favorite vegan, kid-friendly recipes in our first-ever "Cooking With Kids" contest. We received recipes that parents and their children like to make together as well as recipes created by the budding chefs themselves.

It was difficult to pick a winner, but after testing all the submitted entries, we finally narrowed it down to one for the grand prize. And the winner is …

The Hodge family from Boise, Idaho!

Vicki Hodge submitted her daughter Olivia's favorite recipe, Shake-and-Make Soy Ice Cream, which we love because it's easy to make, child-safe, and tasty. Click here to see the recipe.

The Hodge family also received an honorable mention for their Oatmeal-Banana-Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe created by daughters Olivia and Abigail. The cookies are healthy and loaded with subtle flavors of ginger, cinnamon, and carob—to name just a few! Click here to see the recipe.

Both Vicki and Olivia will receive AeroGardens, courtesy of AeroGrow International Inc., as part of their "Mommy and Me" cooking kit. AeroGardens allow you to grow your favorite herbs and vegetables right in your own kitchen, and best of all, they require no tools or dirt, so they're mess-free and child-safe!

Whether your child is the next Wolfgang Puck or just likes to lend a hand in the kitchen, your time spent cooking together is undeniably valuable—not only does it provide quality family time, it also teaches your child about math and chemistry. So don't let the cooking stop here!
