Cooking With Kids

I know all too well how hard it is for the entire family during those winter months. Tension is high and patience runs low. There is only so many movies, board games and video games to occupy your time, especially the toddler. However, you’ll be amazed by how quickly happiness can be restored if you have some exciting activities planned. The entire family can enjoy some quality time together! And since everyone loves to eat, why not make it time spent in the kitchen?

Everyone from toddlers to the “big kids” will enjoy making and eating these recipes. The recipes are all healthy, too! Below you’ll find an assortment of recipes from a wintery snowman sandwich to a colorful parfait that will have everyone asking to help and eat more.

Let’s get in the kitchen!

First up, is a really easy treat that any youngster can help you make. They can practice using measuring cups and with no raw ingredients to handle, help lick the spoon! These No-Bake Cereal Bars are great for a little snack, dessert or even breakfast!

Healthy Rainbow Parfaits

Simplicity and individuality is key here. Feel free to be as creative as possible with your fruit choices, too. Have all of the fruit prepared and let the kids go crazy decorating their parfaits!
