Best Recipes for Kids to Cook (Save this list!)
Hi Reader,
While I don't always involve my kids in the kitchen on busy weeknights, I do LOVE exposing the kids to a range of foods while they're in the kitchen because I know it's one way that can take make food more fun. And it can be a way to enjoy food together without as much pressuring on who's eating what and learn what a lot of foods are.
The list below is here to help when you want to cook together, vetted by me and my real-life kiddos.
(And don't miss this Cauliflower Mac and Cheese, which we made last week and oh wow, I forgot how good it is!)
Here are a few of my go-to recipes for kids to cook (with a little help!) when you’re in need of fun toddler activities to increase their exposure to a variety of foods, keep them busy, AND make foods to share at the next meal or snack.
