Baking with the kids: recipes to try

At a certain age, it becomes a lot of fun to spend time in the kitchen with the kids (once they get past the “spill everything” stage.) Starting young means that kids will be keen to help more as they get older – who knows, maybe they’ll be cooking you dinner at some point!

If you want the kids to get in the kitchen, here are a few recipes start with (my own kids have helped with these ones.) Have fun with it! But be prepared, the desserts always seem to be a bit more exciting for everyone.

Yummy meatballs

(maybe the kids can help get creative with the sauce?)

Mac ‘n’ Cheese

You know they love plain, sometimes boring pasta but this is the best way to do it.

Sugar Cookies

We all love cutting and decorating these cookies!

Ginger Molasses Cookies

My daughter loves dipping these in the sugar!

What kind of fun are you having in the kitchen with your kids?
