What’s cooking? Or better said, Who’s cooking?  Cooking and baking with kids is always a success formula to keep children  busy during a rainy day.

Some recipes, easy and fun to make with your children.

Cooking and baking with kids

Handy Cupcakes Cubes

Lovely eatable cupcake holders! Just bake them in ice cubes! The 5-year-old boy was too small for the table 😉 But he was quite handy filling the ice cubes!

Baking Cookies

Any cookie recipe will do, always a success with kids! And we decorated the jar 🙂

 

Apple Roses

When you make a present from the Apple Rose Cookies, you can make a folder with the children and add the recipe too. (Click on the picture below and save)

Recipe Apple Roses

Set the Table

To cover the table neatly you need napkins

Here you see a few examples for folding napkins

Decent Chefs Clothing

When you are going to cook or bake, you need proper clothing.

From an old sheet, we cut an apron and ironed a pattern on it, which the kids colored with fabric paint. Of course, I had to make a chef’s hat as well.

We ended up in the kitchen baking cookies for the whole family. We have wrapped the cookies in foil, labeled them with a name and finished with a ribbon.

 

Cinnamon Cookies

250 g. margarine, 250 g. flour, a pinch of salt, 125 ml water, powdered sugar for on the worksheet, 60 g.sugar and teaspoon cinnamon for in between the dough roll and on top of it (see pics) cut in slices of 0,5 cm.

200 C. 15 minutes

Sauerkraut dish

The easiest way of cooking with children is making an oven dish.

Dinner for 4-6 people.

Add in a baking dish the next ingredients:

900 gr. Burgundian seasoned new potatoes (ready cooked to buy) 450 gr. sauerkraut, 100 gr. bacon in pieces and 12 marinated chicken wings on top.

Cover with aluminum foil and put the dish 1- 1.5 hour at 200 degrees in the oven.

(I, myself, have always problems to think up a present for a man)

 

 Cheese cookies

Puff pastry and grated cheese

(most suitable is, of course, the famous Dutch cheese)

Let the kids stand-out figures put cheese on top

and they are ready to bake

Preheat the oven to 200 ° C = 400 °F

and warm puff 5 to 10 minutes.

 

Shashlick

  Always a big hit!

They can make their own favorite,

lots of meat, with pineapple, paprika or onions,

Whatever they like.

I had the meat marinated in advance.

We made it on an electric plate, but a BBQ or a frying pan does the job as well.

Funny PIZZA!

Make the dough using Pizza- mix

Cut in advance red, green and yellow paprika, onion, pineapple, tomatoes, ham, and salami. You also can use corn, mushrooms, and olive. And of course grated cheese. Fry some meatloaf with garlic and Italian herbs, when ready, throw a pot of pasta sauce within.

Give every child +/- 150 gr. dought

and let them be creative with the food

Pancake pie

Make pancakes from a mix, with eggs and milk.

Make vanilla custard pudding,

65 gr custard-150 gr sugar, 1 L milk

a jar of strawberry jam (heated)

a bottle of strawberry sauce
