Kitchen Fun

We are always looking for ways to add “flavor” and excitement to our daily lives, and what better way than in the kitchen! I have recently discovered my own love for creating wonderful meals. Who has time to cook from scratch when there are babies in the house? Certainly not me! Now my kids are at ages where I can not only find time to cook, but they want to be involved in the process!

We recently purchased a subscription to Raddish Kids. We get a monthly delivery of recipes, complete with a skill card, skill patch to iron on our aprons, a shopping list, and special supplies based on a monthly theme. You can also download Homeschool Lesson Plans to go along with the kit to make a whole unit study out of your kit! Our first box is Make-Believe Meals and our first recipe is for Superhero Scrambles.

Unfortunately, my boys are feeling under the weather today so my DD decided to dive in alone.

The recipe cards are illustrated so that even early readers can help out. So, we gathered all of our ingredients and she began to prep.

And assemble.

And put finishing touches…

And the waiting begins…

After 20 minutes, this is what DD created all on her own!

They are a hit with everyone!

As soon as the boys are feeling better, we will begin our Superhero Training Program (included in the Homeschool Lesson Plan)!

I would say that after trying our first recipe, Raddish is a hit! What I love about it is that it takes something as seemingly simple as preparing a meal and turns it into a wonderful opportunity to learn – about not just cooking and food prep but culture, nutrition, and science. Plus, it’s just so fun being together creating something!
