For the most part we all do great jobs, but then there is the issue with health. How many of you just give them junk food and then bury your head in the sand as to the consequences?

However, it is not too late to change things and by using your smartphone you can make things fun as well. So teaching kids to cook with apps, the healthy way has to be the ideal solution.

Remember that you have to get them in the kitchen first, so you should start them off slowly with the “Fun Recipes For Your Kids” iOS app. Not only will it be nice to show them how to cook simple dishes, but also spending quality time with them is priceless – well in theory anyway. The recipes are easy to follow, so kids should not get bored.

The next app is for children and adults and is called “Healthy Recipes: Cooking for Fast Weight Loss” You are best to show your kids this one once they start to enjoy eating healthily, as it is all about conditioning. In this app you will find videos that will show you the best way to cook healthy food, as well as all the ingredients that you need. Taking the little ones shopping could be seen as a fun activity – again this is great in theory.

The final step has to be the “Healthy Kids” app for the iPhone and other iOS devices. This is a great way to teach your kids how to eat better, such as fruits and vegetables. Also with this app you can teach kids eating different colored foods likes fruits and vegetables will make them grow to be strong and healthy.

There are some cases where trying to eat healthy becomes tough, such as on a cruise. However, we have some great advice that should allow you to not put any weight on.

We hope that these apps are of help to you, but try not to blame us if your kids rebel against the ideas.

For those who are not in the know this is called food slang. Now you could try and get someone to teach you all this or go down a much simpler route and download the “Food Slang 500” app to learn all the words and terms.

There is not much too this app, so you will not be able to learn any recipes like you can with the upcoming “Angry Bird Cookbook” app or “Cooking Tips and Tricks.” This app is very simple in the way that you get to learn phrases like what “CackleBerries” means – which is eggs by the way.

There are hundreds more like that, such as Skid grease, Elephant footprint etc. This can be a fun game to play at parties, and believe me some food slang will make you laugh. Using the app is simple, as you only need to swipe or shake your handset to get to the next common expression for food items.

The app is not only available on iOS devices, but also Android as well. The best part is it’s “Free” – cheap for a fun party game wouldn’t you say? However, the only issue with this is you have to put up with those annoying adds below the app.
