Cooking is a valuable life skill!

DonnaLeave a comment

Cooking is a valuable life skill that teaches children about nutrition and food safety, as well as building math, science, literacy and fine motor skills. 

No matter if you’re #remotelearning, #homeschooling, or #hybridlearning, I encourage you to include “Be a Superhero in the Kitchen” in your curriculum.
 
Cooking is fun & educational!

One More SUPER Menu!

DonnaLeave a comment

 

(Meat or cheese) tortellini or (breaded or unbreaded) ravioli, jar sauce, mozzarella sticks, veggie of your choice. 

 

If you can find both tortellini  (cold section) and the ravioli (freezer section), you can easily have two days of meals. You can make a butter sauce or buy a jar/marinara sauce. 

 

Fish tacos

 

If you don’t like fresh fish and slaw on your tacos, try breaded fish, tartar sauce, cheese, and lettuce on a soft shell. It’s quick, easy, and gives you a new option for Taco Tuesday! 

 

Lil’ Smokies (cooked on a stovetop or in a slow cooker)

 

Lil’ Smokies + grape jelly + slow cooker = a quick, easy meal your whole family will enjoy! 

 

 

We love having breakfast for supper. 

 

Your Super Chef will love making Magnificent Muffin Cones, located in Be a Superhero in the Kitchen.

 

 Select a protein and, for the side dish, make Colossal Bacon and Bean Sidekick. 

Looking for a true hands-on activity? Then look no further. Snapping the ends off green beans will keep Super Chefs mighty busy. Plus, who doesn’t like playing with their food?!  🙂

You can find the recipe in Be a Superhero in the Kitchen.

 

Grill out burgers, chicken, bratwurst, etc. 

 

Serve some POW! Party Punch! You can find the recipe in Be a Superhero in the Kitchen.

Week Three: Super Menu!

DonnaLeave a comment

We are still “sheltered in place,” so I am sharing another week of dinner ideas.

Every recipe listed below is budget-friendly, has minimal ingredients, and it is huge on flavor! 

Hope these ideas help you. 🙂

Stay healthy! 

It doesn’t have to be a holiday to make a turkey. Our store had turkeys on sale, so we bought one.

Instead of cranberry sauce, serve Awesome Apple Crumble! The recipe can be found in Be a Superhero in the Kitchen. 

 

Super Chicken Tacos

The recipe can be found in Be a Superhero in the Kitchen. Also, be sure and read the tips located on the recipe in the book. 🙂

 

 

  

Wings! 

Buffalo style, baked, fried, honey bbq… there are so many ways to enjoy this meal.

So… go get your WING ON! 

 

Stores have limited amounts of meat, but if you can find some, make a lasagna. If you can’t find meat, cheese or spaghetti sauce, check the freezer section for a frozen lasagna. Whatever is easier and keeps bellies full and happy! 

 

Ground beef, gravy, veggie noodles.

Another option: If your store has beef tips in stock, you should consider making Bam! Beef Stew. It doesn’t take many ingredients, and it cooks in a slow cooker. Win, win! 

The recipe can be found in Be a Superhero in the Kitchen.

 

 Fire up the grill

It’s a SUPER BOOK BIRTHDAY!

DonnaLeave a comment

Be a Superhero int he Kitchen is officially out today. Before you buy, check out what ARC’s reviewers have said about this SUPER children’s cookbook! 

 

My daughter went through this book as soon as we received it to bookmark the recipes she wanted to make first. She picked the Colossal Bacon and Bean Sidekick, the Amazing Pudding Parfaits, and Crime Fighter’s Cookie Fluff.
⠀
We have made 2 of the 3 recipes now and the ingredient lists are parent and budget-friendly. The ingredients are easy to come by and already had a lot of the ingredients in our cabinets! The instructions were easy to follow for my daughter and she had so much fun making the food. Finally, and most importantly, it was delicious!
⠀
To Read or Not To Read:
I would recommend Be a Superhero in the Kitchen for any child that enjoys cooking, or wants to try it out!

It’s so adorable. Each page has a recipe; the ingredients, directions and a superhero tip. There is a menu list in the beginning listing all 20 recipes followed by a page of cooking tips. It’s definitely the cutest cookbook I’ve ever seen. I’m going to have to order a few more for the little chefs I know!

This is a really cute cookbook for kids when your kids want to make something but you don’t have much time. A lot of the recipes call for things already made, such as a tube of biscuits, pre-made pizza crust, etc. The parent wins because they don’t have to spend much time supervising some lavish recipe and the kid wins because they actually feel like they’ve made something useful. A win-win!.
