Cooking with my kids is one of my favorite activities to do with them. There are so many wonderful benefits to letting your kids help you cook. The most important is spending quality time with them, but you are also creating a love for cooking in them and teaching them essential basics that will help them for life. Also, kids are more apt to eat something that they have created themselves.
Here are a few wonderful and easy recipes that my kids love to make and eat. Enjoy, and have fun, but don't forget about kitchen safety. Little hands and eager minds can easily pass the line of safety and touch hot and/or sharp objects.
YUMMY SMOOTHIES
Ingredients: 1 cup milk, 1 Banana, 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup frozen
berries. Put ingredients in a blender and blend till smooth.
HEALTHY MAC N' CHEESE
Directions: Cook noodles as directed and strain. Pour noodles into bowl.
Let kids pour milk and cheese mix in. Don't use butter or
Margarine. Instead, add 1/2 cup shredded marble cheese.
Mix and serve.
VEGGIE & FRUIT PLATTER WITH DIP
Directions: Cut mixed fruit and veggies into creative and fun patterns.
Lay out cream cheese, sour cream, herbs of choice, Ranch
dressing, shredded cheese, and any other fun ingredients you
can find. Give each child their own bowl and let them
experiment with the different flavors.
