Here are a few ideas to help get your kids in the kitchen with you and enjoying the kitchen.
Watching the kids cook or bake something in the kitchen is so satisfying. We love passing on our love of food and cooking to the kids and watching them enjoy their own creations.
This is a collection of recipes where the children (depending on their age) can do 90% on their own or with minimal help. We always recommend supervising your kids in the kitchen.
