Delicious and Easy Recipes to Make with Kids

Cooking with kids is a great way to bond with them, teaches them skills and increases their confidence.

There are many other benefits you can read about on 17 Benefits of Cooking with Kids: Making Memories in the Kitchen.

Be sure and pick a recipe suitable for the age and skills of the child.

We should include drinks in the “cooking” area, too.

Have your Grandkids ever opened a lemonade stand?  If they do, here is a recipe for Easy Strawberry Lemonade.

They might want to offer this as their “premium” product.  This one is an easy recipe for kids to make and serve.

Let me know if you decide to do this – I’d love to hear your story!

NOTE:  If you’re looking for cooking shows to watch with your Grands, try this cute one – Just Add Magic.

It’s a kids show on Amazon Video and you can watch for free if you have a Prime Membership.  (Get your Amazon Prime Membership here.)

The show notes say:  “When Kelly and her two best friends stumble upon a mysterious cookbook, they discover the book’s recipes are far from ordinary-they’re magical.

Attempting to use the recipes to release Kelly’s grandmother from a powerful curse, they uncover more clues surrounding Grandma’s mystery and learn each recipe comes with a hefty price.

Bigger secrets are about to be unearthed when you Just Add Magic!”

It’s a fun show, especially for girls 6-12, that also has a message.  A great one to watch together!

Here are a few fairly easy recipes that you’ll enjoy.

Baked Spaghetti Squash

Kids love turning this healthy vegetable into spaghetti.

Actually, did you know this “vegetable” is really a fruit?

Find out more about growing your own spaghetti squash from Lisa, the Happy Happy Vegan.

To cook, vent using a fork to poke several holes in the whole spaghetti squash.

Microwave for 6 to 7 minutes until it softens.

Slice it in half lengthwise.  When it cools, let kids scoop out the seeds and then rake their fork over the strands to turn it into spaghetti!

Mix it with butter, cinnamon, and sugar or stir in tomato sauce and cheese.
