Family Lifestyle | #GetKidsCooking

Just last week, Lyric had a once in a lifetime opportunity to get a one-on-one cooking lesson from Logan Guleff, the winner of MasterChef Junior Season 2. A recent survey showed that while 90% of parents believe that teaching kids to cook is an important part of helping them live healthier lives, only 12% let their kids help cook. That’s a HUGE gap! This is when Uncle Ben’s teamed up with Logan in their new campaign, GetKidsCooking.ca!
