Cooking Kids

Well it’s time for my monthly Little Chefs cooking club tomorrow. This month we’re focusing on Christmas Treats. The kids are making chocolate christmas mice, sugarplum dreams, peanut butter cookies and take-home reindeer food.

I originally planned for the kids to make gingerbread kids, but that fell through. We’re redoing our kitchen floors, so I knew I wouldn’t be able to make the gingerbread dough from scratch without going completely insane stepping over my husband and tile pieces. And the grocery store I went to had no gingerbread. So instead, I am having the kids pick one of four cookie presses that I have and push them into peanut butter cookie dough, and then they can decorate them with icing and sprinkles.

The kids’ cooking club has been a huge success. Every month my playgroup sends out a calendar and Little Chefs is one of the first activities to fill up, and it always has a waiting list. I was a little wary at first that the kids wouldn’t be interested, but they all love it and so do the moms.
