Posted under  EnviroKidz, Food & Health, Kids & Families on
Mother’s Day in our house usually begins with my husband asking what I want for breakfast and beyond! I’m in charge of the cooking and meal planning in my house, and I’m guessing I’m not the only Mom out there with this task. Because my toddlers are at an age where they can help both Mom and Dad in the kitchen, I’ve put a “bug” in my husband’s ear BEFORE Mother’s Day to get him thinking about recipes both he and the kids can make for Mom. I’ve already let him know I’ll help with the clean-up (we all know they’ll need it!). Not only is cooking for Mom a great idea and gift, it shows her that you are paying attention and care! So, here are 5 easy recipes kids can help make for mom!
