A menu for kids who want to cook for mom on Mother's Day

kids cooking

Sometimes, nothing is as special as a hand-made gift from a kid. However, when we're talking about food, it's sometimes better to plan and prepare, rather than fall victim to a tyke's whimsical and questionable cookery. (Not to mention the potential mess that will result from willy nilly cooking kids.) What follows is an easy to whip up menu for kids to make mom on Mother's Day. It's tasty, easy to prepare, requires minimal parental intervention, and can be adapted to your kid's age and cooking prowess.

On the pages that follow, you will find:

Miniature Speared Caprese Salad Bites
Garlic Bread
Lasagna
Cinnamon Sugar Drop Cookies

Get your kids cooking and have a happy Mother's Day!

*Note: Much of this menu is really easy, but please supervise and help the kids to make sure they're prepping and cooking each bit safely.





Tip of the Day

Have you ever stashed a Coke in the freezer, hoping to chill it quickly, then forgotten all about it, only to have it explode all over your frozen peas?
