Parent Earth Expert Latham Thomas, a nutritionist, cooks an affordable and local squash soup with sage pesto with her 6 year old son, Fulano. She is a big advocate for cooking with kids and has taught nutrition and cooking to families and children.

Tips:
1. Use a sharp knife to cut the squash.
2. Peeling the squash is a good activity for kids 6 and up.
3. Mixing the spices is also a good job to have your child help with.

She bought everything for under twenty dollars, for three dishes plus leftovers. See our farmers market shopping video when Latham and her son buy the food for making this meal together.
