Recipes for Kids
Kids like to help in the kitchen. Instead of always doing it yourself to save time, why not encourage their interest? Give your budding chefs some recipes they can handle on their own. You can advise and supervise and they can have fun and gain a sense of accomplishment by making something the family can enjoy. By encouraging your child's interest in cooking you may gain a great kitchen helper. A little time spent now will save you time later. You will also be making memories and bonding. I have nice memories of my mom and sister and I working in the kitchen together. Let's get started on some recipes for kids!

ICE CREAM CONE CUPCAKES
Ingredients:
1 package of your favorite cake mix
36 flat-bottom ice cream cones

Assorted decorations such as mini chocolate chips, jimmies, or sprinkles.
Directions:
Heat oven to 350 F. Make the cake mix as directed on package, using water, oil, and the eggs. Fill each cone about one half full of batter.
Stand the cones in a muffin tin. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely, about one hour.

Cooking with Kids
Make some memories!
Cooking is like play to children and like everything else it is a learning experience. A mother wisely takes advantage of her children's interest in cooking and of their desire for helpfulness to give them each a practical knowledge of everyday cooking. This not only gives them a sense of individual accomplishment but trains them in team work as well. Enjoy cooking in the kitchen with your children. Make some memories!

What a delightful lens! Very visually appealing too. Great job. I love retro things, but more either early victorian or from the 40's-60's.
Great job! 5*

What a great lens. Makes a person hungry just to read it. I must say, I did not like "Johnny Cake" as a kid.
