Quick Thanksgiving Prep Tip: Put those kids to work
Kids can do a lot to help with Thanksgiving prep (and other holiday prep for that matter), but a really fun thing for kids to do is chop veggies.
That said, you do not want to hand most kids a big ol’ knife - take it from me; someone who sliced half her hand open when she was seven (I was trying to cut an apple with a butcher knife!). What you can do it pick up this little gadget:
I don’t own a Chef’n Veggichop, but my pal does, and this hand powered herb and vegetable chopper works pretty well; so long as you don’t stuff it full. There’s also a non-skid rubber base, so your veggies won’t end up on the floor. Get this for the kiddos and let them hand chop veggies to their heart’s content. It’ll keep them busy and save you time.
