Cooking with kids might seem a bit overwhelming, but truly, there are a lot of fun and simple recipes out there! One of my fondest memories as a young mother was cooking with my own children. They loved being beside me at the kitchen counter, measuring, stirring, and pouring. They are grown now, but I am lucky to have the opportunities to cook with my students in my preschool classroom.
