    It should be no surprise that one of my favourite things about cooking is getting my boys involved and having some fun (as well as making a BIG, BIG mess) in the kitchen.  I’ve always encouraged both of the boys to help out in the kitchen since they were just little babies and they now jump at any opportunity to get involved and regularly ask if we can ‘make cakes’.  If you also want to spend some time having fun in the kitchen with your kids, today I’ve put together 8 easy recipes to make with kids, which includes some of our favourite recipes – enjoy!

    My Nan’s Chocolate Cake has now been made by four generations in our family. It’s so easy to make, even with a couple of little helpers!

    Sausage Rolls may not seem like a good recipe to make with the kids, but with lots of grating, measuring, pouring and mixing involved, it’s perfect to make with the kids.

    My boys love helping to make these Zucchini and Quinoa Chicken Nuggets, their favourite jobs are shaping them and dipping them in the egg mixture!

      Cooking with my son has to be fast. His attention fades out. Already I can see Leni will give me much more time in the kitchen because it is one of her favourite places to be.

      I love cooking with my boys in the kitchen. At the moment, it works best if I work with one at a time {hopefully while the other naps}. But I want them to have a love for food and fresh produce and cooking. I think if they help prepare/cook a meal, they are more likely to give it a go.

        Yes I really think so too, it’s amazing what my guys will eat if they have helped to make it. I envy you with day sleeps, Mr almost 3 has just dropped his 🙁

      I’ve tried cooking with bub a few times but she usually helps me stir some flour and then loses interest. She’d probably be a lot more interested in cookies though if we used cookie cutters because she loves making shapes with the paydoh stencils lol.

        Yep, losing interest happens here too! That sounds like a good idea, great way to learn shapes too!

      Nan’s chocolate cake has got to be the place to start! I reckon my kids are old enough to tackle it unaided… but supervised!! x
