    Mini Doughnuts!

    The kids love spending time in the kitchen.  They have put together some great treats.  Thankful for kids who love to cook.  They used the doughnut recipe on the mini doughnut container.  The doughnuts were good, but they were a little heavier than what we were used to so we will probably look for a different recipe to try out.  They did these all by themselves.  The kids decorated them beautifully.

  • Kids in the Kitchen: Easy Parmesan Chicken

    The girls have started making dinner for the family once a week.  It has been fun coming up with easy and fun recipes for them to put together.  My husband actually came up with this idea after the girls suggested they make chicken nuggets for dinner one night.  This is a super easy recipe to put together and the only thing you really need to help the kids with is taking the hot pan out of the oven.  It is really neat to see them get excited about cooking dinner!

    Easy Parmesan Chicken:

    • 20 to 25 Chicken Nuggets
    • 8 slices Provolone Cheese
    • Small can or bottle Pasta Marinara Sauce

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Grease the bottom of a 9 x 13 pyrex dish.  Line the bottom of the pyrex with one layer of chicken nuggets.  Place the slices of cheese over the chicken nuggets.  Spread the pasta sauce over the cheese slices and bake uncovered in the oven for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
