So, I am going to share my children's creations and I encourage you to participate in the challenge with your family (after all, lots of you have commented on the Pillsbury post saying how you would love to cook with your kids)! If you would like to participate and have your creations featured right here on Cake Mom, feel free to send me the recipe you tried and any pictures of the finished results and/or your family having fun with the cooking process.
My kids are excited to get cooking again now that summer is almost over but I will warn you that they are a little less apt to try new recipes since they miss some of their favorites. Repeats or not, we enjoy the process and hope you can try some of the recipes!

Results: We have made the macaroni and cheese recipe many times and everyone in the family loves it. It is really tasty and there is enough for all 4 of us plus some yummy leftovers. This was our first time with the pie. Bella enjoyed making it, saying it was the easiest dessert she has ever made. I loved the layers and each layer had its own fun flavor yet they tasted so great together. These recipes both have permanent places in my recipe book!
