“Little Everett” and Everie made healthy steak fajitas for Kids Cooking with their parents Kaitlin Glidden and Everett Aaron Brown IV.
Once a month, our host and guest chefs prepare and present an easy-to-follow recipe. This program will encourage skill building and activity as a family — all around the theme of food and food preparation. New shows are posted about once a month.
The family started by talking about what they like to do — and eat — as a family. Little Everett’s favorite food to make at home is pizza, while Everie likes “special toast” with butter, cinnamon and sugar and charcuterie boards with meat and cheese.
The family also enjoys going to the M.A.C. gym together where Little Everett learned to swim before his dad!
