Dear
Parents of Future Chefs,
-
If
I told you that your picky eaters could become
good cooks and learn to love all kinds of food
that they've prepared themselves, would you
believe me?
-
If
I said that you and your kids could have a fun
time in the kitchen while they learn important
life skills, would you ask
how?
-
What
if you could have a night off from cooking but
not spend your hard earned money on take out,
would you say, "Sign me
up!"?
You
may be like me, a busy mom, who's grown tired of
picky eaters, bored kids, and fast
food. Now there's a way to solve these
problems; please let me
explain...
My
kids were 8 and 10 when I realized that they
really didn't know how to cook and I was doing
it all. This was no good!
I was either wearing myself out making hurried
and boring meals that they were tired of, or we
were ordering delivery pizza and doing fast
food. Plus, my kids weren't learning an
important skill to help them through life.
It was time to get
serious about cooking
yet have a good time
with
it!
I searched high and low and couldn't
find many recipes geared towards these
in-between years, so I decided to start this
Cookin' Kids website with easy kid friendly
recipes and fun
ideas.
Cookin' Kids has been going
strong since 2003! No more kids staring
into the fridge and whining about nothing to
eat. No more bored kids with nothing to
do. No more empty cookie jar. :)
Here's
a bit about what you'll find on this
website...
Naturally,
to get your kids cooking, you want easy kids
recipes that are interesting; recipes that
kids want to try. I hear you and I'm happy
to deliver, with the help of readers like you
who have sent in their favorite easy kids
recipes.
Kids
can explore cooking with 6 different
themes...

LOL! We've
got some good kids jokes on these
pages! Kids can send in their favorite
jokes or just enjoy ours.
Another
place to play, and give kids cooking
information, kids cookbook reviews, easy kids
recipes, kids jokes and more. This is where
you can leave comments and interact with Cookin'
Kids whenever you want. And whether you're
an adult or child, you can send us your favorite
recipes!
Kids
Cookbooks is
a new section where I showcase the best chidrens
cookbooks and even write some
reviews.
Kids
can find out what terms from the cookbooks mean
when they look them up here in cooking
definitions. Plus, there are many safety
tips that beginning cooks might not
know.
Here's
a whole slew of articles I've written about kids
and cooking and so on. Some are funny,
others are very informative. Check back
from time to time for new articles or sign up to
be notified when I've written some
more.

Cookin'
Kids has been
providing easy kid friendly
recipes for 8
years! We've gone through some changes –
from a snail mail newsletter to a digital ebook,
but we're still going strong. I think that
says something. I'm thankful to all who
have written and sent recipes!
Happy
Cookin' Adventures,
P.S. I
never get tired of hearing the stories of your
children in the kitchen. I love hearing
about how your child's confidence has grown, how
they're better organized, and how their natural
creativity has given flight in the
kitchen. Thanks for sharing... and have
fun with it!
P.P.S. Don't you always
feel good when your kids learn something new?
Well, seeing your kids master these recipes in
the kitchen with you
will give you that same feeling.
