Cooking with Kids – A – Z of Recipes that Families will Love
Some of my fondest childhood memories are of being in the kitchen with my mum, aunts and grandparents. Learning to cook and bake with them from a young child to teenager, and even now I love joining my mum, in the kitchen helping to prepare family meals that we then sit down together to enjoy. Those recipes that I learnt at their apron strings and the cookbooks that I had – and still have are my go-to recipes to share with my kids and teach them to cook in the home for family meals and treats.

With the new year and one of the family goals we have set this year being more meals together to encourage us to talk and spend time daily this is a great way to start, I’m also hoping that it will encourage both J and T to try new foods and experience new tastes as we work through the recipes I will be sharing. To extend the time spent together, we are preparing and cooking the meal as a family.

Love the ideas ….my lo is very fussy with eating so involving her in cooking and making food appearing great and tempting is my motto. Will be following what you suggested. TIA
I love this idea. I will definitely be following. Our kitchen is under construction but as soon as it is complete I intend to incorporate much more cooking and baking 🙂
This is such a cute idea, we are working on learning our letters, so I look forward to reading more!!
