Family Day is the break we all need to pick up our spirits during the cold winter month of February. It’s also a great time to spend quality time with your family!
So why not start a family tradition by getting your kids in the kitchen to help prepare some of their favourite foods? I have many memories of spending time with my Mom in the kitchen, sometimes helping out, other times just watching her cook and learning. These are some of my favourite memories......
Here are a few recipes that you can prepare with your kids.
Chicken & Caramelized Onion English Muffins
Introduce your kids to pesto with these mini open faced pizzas. By using whole wheat English muffins for the crust, you are also introducing them to healthier options.
Kid Friendly Oven Baked Chicken Nuggets with Sweet Potato Fries
What kid doesn’t like chicken nuggets and fries? Make a big batch of these nuggets and have your kids place the sliced sweet potato on the baking sheet. They’re more likely to eat these healthier fries if they’re involved in the cooking process.
Quesadillas are always a winning option when it comes to feeding your kids. Have plenty of chopped or sliced vegetables available and have them chose their favourites to fill the quesadillas with. This is also a great time to introduce them to new ingredients like different types of cheeses or guacamole, to name a few.
Whatever you chose to do on Family Day, I hope you take the time to build special memories with your family.
