Recipes kids
can make
As every parent knows, kids like to cook almost as much as
they like to eat. This month Rural Voice has gathered a selection
of simple recipes, that are safe and easy for children to prepare
for themselves.
They come from Bruce County 4-H clubs and from A Little Bit
of Everything, Vol. 2, a cookbook -plus that's compiled by the
Ontario Junior Women's Institutes and available from the
Howick branch.
If you have children who already know their way around the
kitchen and are old enough to work there safely, you might try
turning them loose with this month's Rural Family recipes.
Mother will get a break, the kids will learn something and a
good time will be had by all.
