16 Recipes to Make with your Kids this Spring

Spring is here, but that doesn’t always mean the weather is ideal. A rain-filled spring day calls for cooking and/or baking with your kids! Your little ones can be great helpers in the kitchen – whether it’s measuring ingredients, washing fruits and veggies, or mixing items in a bowl. It’s also a great way to get them to broaden their palate and eat more wholesome foods, as kids are more likely to eat what they help make. Before you get started, be sure to teach your children food safety skills, like washing their hands with soap and water and cleaning all cooking surfaces.

We’ve pulled together some yummy and fun recipes you can make with your kiddos for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert!
