Kids in the Kitchen


For dinner tonight, the kids helped me make pizza and ice cream sandwiches. The usual problem that I have cooking with the kids is that when there are a lot of ingredients to stir and mix and add, things can get crazy if I turn my back for a minute to get the next ingredient. I get baking powder out of the cabinet, and then there's salt all over the floor. So my new idea for having the kids help is to keep it to a few steps and ingredients. Tonight's dinner couldn't have been more simple...pizza and ice cream sandwiches. I had everything set out before we started cooking so the kids wouldn't eat the dough while I got the sauce out. The kids had a great time, and we enjoyed a yummy dinner. Bonus: I now have some dairy-free pizza frozen to take along for Grant to the next pizza birthday party we go to.

Looks like it was a lot of fun and delicious! I will have to get brave and try it with the kids some day :)
