So any suggestions on easy things for kids to cook. I'm not sure how I feel about actual heat involved (pans, sauces, anything that can spill and scar for life). But then again Ramen is a great thing for kids to cook. Maybe it just depends on the kid and if I think they can remember the rules. It's just that James is always begging for me to let him cook. What do you think? Too soon?

Cooking Kids
I taught James how to make pancakes. He poured the Bisquick, mixed in the milk, stirred it all up, poured out the batter, flipped them, and then we all ate them.
I am actually hoping to make aprons for the kids and a cute little cookbook of easy recipes with pictures next to each of the ingredients so they can use it even before they can read it all.

Dr. Mom prescribes regular sleep--it's a good thing, as Martha Stewart says. What an antithesis of the over-riding goal of your chosen profession, which should be good health, right?
Well, for Luke, there would be no hot elements involved--someone would get seriously hurt, though he would love every second of it! PBJ, cereal and the occasional toast with butter is all the recipes he get to make! You are so much more fun. Don't tell my kids.
That's a really awesome idea. I loved to cook as a kid, it was my greatest joy. Maybe if you just let them do all the prep stuff and then you do the actual cooking? What do I know?
I love this idea. I don't have any brilliant suggestions about what to put in your cookbook, though. When you figure it out, you should post a blog about it and then I can copy you (when Sarah's older, of course). Some hot things (like Ramen) can also be cooked in the microwave, which might not be so bad for a kid James age to do. Good luck!
