4

Moms have many things to juggle with during the day. Working, cleaning, cooking, taking care of kids are some of them, and it can be very hard sometimes to balance everything. Of course, keeping kids healthy and happy is always a top priority. Cooking at home can be a lot more fun and easier with help. Moms can do a few things to involve their kids in the game of cooking, which in turn will help them finish other things. 

We all remember helping out mothers when we were little. The smells and tastes of homemade cooking of our moms stay forever. If you are a stay at home mom that wants to involve their children in helping, then check out the following tips. You and your children can try some Delicious Recipes and then enjoy eating together. Kids can help you in many ways. For example, then can tear lettuce to make a salad, help you with adding ingredients, assemble a pizza, and some other things. 

Cooking With Children 

Cooking with children comes with consequences. First of all, be prepared for a mess in the kitchen. Do not clean or change your clothes until you are fully finished with cooking, otherwise, it will be a mess all over again. 

When it comes to preparing meals, a few things can help you so your children will eat everything. Avoid using strong colors or smells because they will immediately say they do not like it. Try to involve them by telling them what ingredient to give you from the fridge, mix a few things up, and keep them busy. That way they are more likely to eat everything you make. Keep in mind that cooking together with children may take you a very long time, but it is worth it because you will spend quality time together and they will eat the food your prepare for them. 

Cooking can be turned into a game, maybe you can set some specific days in the week when they will help you with meals. That will make them excited and think about the day when they will help. Of course, they will sometimes complain and be moody, but you can teach them by telling them that cooking is an important skill to learn that will help them in life. Many children take pride when they help their parents, so make sure you get them excited to help you cook. 

Easy Cooking Recipes 

Important thing is to keep it simple. You do not have to prepare something amazing or extravagant so your kids would enjoy it. Sometimes the simplest home cooking recipes are the most delicious ones. Also, a good idea is to prepare things in advance. For example, marinate the meat the night before, so it will take less time to prepare the next day. Or season the ground beef a few days earlier and put it in the fridge to have it always ready when you want to make something quick the following days.
