Quick And Easy Cookie Recipes Your Kids Will Love

If you’re a parent who spends very little time with your kids due to the daily hassles in your office and/or in your home, then I say this to you: make time. When you’re old and look back, you’ll regret not doing things with your kids. You might even end up miserable and hating yourself and the real sad part is that you’ll never get that time back. So why be that old man, try doing things with your kids today. One little activity that is very rewarding for you and your kid is inviting your children into your kitchen. There are quick and easy recipes where you and your kids can enjoy.

How many times have you scolded your kid for playing around the kitchen? Well this is understandable given the potential dangers around the kitchen, knives, hot surfaces, boiling water, hot oils, etc. But by involving them in the cooking process you will be able to teach them the proper and safe conducts in and around the kitchen. This beats scolding anytime.

Children love the whole process of cooking. They the way big pieces of ingredients are chopped, sliced, or grated and mixed together to form a terrific dish. Maybe to them it’s a big jigsaw puzzle which when you get it right you will have one whole piece of dish that you can enjoy and eat.

Be patient when you’re working with kids. Expect a big mess of things. Your work table will most likely be overrun by various ingredients, drops of seasonings, scattered utensils, measuring instruments, and other cookware. This is fun to them, and who knows you might enjoy a taste of chaos once in a while. It might actually be liberating. But for the kids, the experience is hilarious and when they made good with their food, the feeling would be fulfilling.

There are several easy recipes that kids can make. Some very easy and simple dishes include omelet recipes and other breakfast dishes. Making French toasts is quite easy as well. Salads and sandwiches are also quite easy to make plus they are very healthy. Your kids can also bring these sandwiches for their lunch breaks.

One simple recipe is making a banana crepe, or make than a chocolate banana crepe. What you will need is some crepe flour, milk, eggs, melted chocolate, butter and of course sliced bananas. Mix together everything in a bowl except for the chocolate, bananas and butter. Let your kid do the mixing process. Use the butter to grease a crepe pan and then pour the crepe mixture on it. Make sure to spread out the mixture over the pan. Remember to flip it to cook the other side. Once cooked, spread the melted chocolate, line up the banana slices, and then fold it. You can add some more chocolate on the outside. Enjoy this with your kid.

Making pancakes is also another easy one. You can either go with the quick cooked pancakes available in the market or make your own from flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whatever you decide, your kids can handle the mixing of the pancake mix, the greasing of the pan, the flipping of the pancakes and the presentation and additional touches like topping with chocolate or strawberry syrup.

Allow your kids to experiment and be imaginative. You will enjoy quick and easy recipes if you cook them with your kids. Sure expect a dirty kitchen later, but you have so much to gain if you involve your kids with the things you do.

Does anyone have a good french toast recipe?!?

My sis really wants french toast before he goes off on his first day at school but I haven’t made it in about 2 years and lost my recipe. Does anyone have a good recipe for it?
Oh gosh – I’m an idiot, I just realized I put before “he” goes off to school, it’s early and I haven’t gone to bed yet — up doing research. Thanks for all the recipes — keep em coming, can’t wait to cook soon!

Answer
Yes i have an awesome one!!

Ingredients
5 large eggs
1/4 cup of milk
2 tablespoons of fine/granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6 thick pieces of bread (or so)
cooking spray or oil
maple syrup and or icing. sugar (aka confectioners sugar)
pinch of cinnamon.

Heat a pan so that if you flick some drops of water on to it..it takes 3 whole seconds to evaporate (so heat to a medium heat..not too hot!)

Beat eggs, milk, fine/granulated sugar, small pinch of cinnamon and vanilla extract together.

Place this liquid into a shallow dish, then place one slice of bread into the dish. Let the slice of bread soak there for 1 minute, then turn it over and let the other side soak for 1 minute. Then take out the bread and put it aside on a plate
Do this with all the bread slices.

Lightly spray the pan with the cooking spray, then gently lift the bread and place it in the pan. (becareful the bread will be soft and might rip if you are rough)

Cook until the bottom is brown (maybe 3-4 minutes if your pan isnt too hot) Flip the bread and let the other side cook til brown (about 3 mins)
All done! So remove from pan and place on a plate..
Dust with icing/confectioners sugar and pour a little maple syrup over it.

For a yummy fruit sauce (no neccesary) get a pot out and in it put a handful of halved strawberries or blueberries and add 2/3 cup of confectioners/icing sugar. Then heat and stir…it will melt down to a yummy sweet sauce!

(I typed this up from the Desperate Housewives Cook Book incase your curious) I love this recipe and have made it about 5 times…it is absolutely yummy! It tastes like sweet pancakes..just yummier. Just make sure the pan isnt too hot or else it will burn and go gross. If you find them burning quickly then make sure enough cooking spray is being used and that its not too hot.

Enjoy!
