for quick and healthy ready-to-cook family meals, hosted Carolina Kids
News at the store in the Myers Park/Cotswold area to tape an upcoming
segment to be shown on Time Warner Cable Channel 22. The crew from
Carolina Kids News filmed a recent "Kids Can Cook" session featuring
12 local children and their parents assembling ready-to-cook meals for
their families and having fun in the store.
The Carolina Kids News segment will air at 11:00 AM on Saturday,
October 3, 2009 on UNCCTV, Time Warner Cable channel 22.
"We were excited when Diana Davis of Carolina Kids News called and
asked if they could take part in a Kids Can Cook meal preparation
session and talk to our guests about their experiences," says Chip
Wilson, Co-Founder of no-fuss Meals Charlotte. "One of our primary
goals is to create opportunities for families to share time together
enjoying great, healthy meals and nurture those special relationships
that sustain us all throughout our lives. Kids Can Cook sessions play
a special part in this process because they create a unique
opportunity for kids to be actively involved in preparing family
dinners. We thought it was a great idea for Diana's Carolina Kids News
team to come interview our young Guests and get a firsthand account of
their experiences."
At Kids Can Cook sessions, Guests are welcomed to bring their children
(ages 7+) with them to assemble delicious, ready-to-cook family
friendly meals. During these sessions, children are invited to try
samples of several of the meals available each month, as well as no-
fuss Meals' kid-friendly staples, "no-fuss Mac and Cheese" and
"Totally Awesome Tenders". "Our Guests consistently tell us that the
experience of preparing family meals instills a great sense of pride
in their children," remarks Cindy Wilson, Chip's wife and business
partner. "And they always get excited about being able to share the
experience in our kitchen, where they don't have to clean anything up!"
Multiple studies have proven how important family dinners are to a
child's development. Not only have studies shown that are they more
important than play, story time or other events in the development of
vocabulary of younger children, but also that older children who
regularly eat family dinners have both a healthier perception of food
and a higher self-esteem. As a result, they are less likely to have
eating disorders or become involved with alcohol, drugs or tobacco as
they get older, and they tend to do better in school as well. The
Wilson's add, "That is why we are so passionate about making it easier
for busy families to share this important time together."
