Land of Nod: Kidz in the Kitchen

Before I share this easy and delicious recipe for “short-cut” cinnamon buns, I have to give a shout-out to my good friend, Deb, for introducing me to this recipe many years ago. It’s since become a favorite in my family, particularly on Christmas morning. I thought of sharing it now, because recently I made it for Easter morning as well!

Anyway, I was curious about how the recipe got its name, and was wondering if it was just something my friend created, but apparently this recipe can be found in Best of Bridge, and several other places on-line. I couldn’t find the origin of the name, so if someone finds it, please share!

Regardless, t’s just a great treat you can prepare the night before a special day, and bake the next day. And it’s a great one for kids to help with!

Raspberry Squares: Kidz in the Kitchen

When I decided to become a guest contributor to Kamloopsparents.com, I thought no problem: I love to bake with my kids. The problem … I generally use the same old recipes (banana bread anyone!)

That was then, this is now! I am always looking for new recipes to try with my kids and my family is super excited … especially about these delightful little treats…

Sorry, there isn’t a picture of the final product… we ate the entire pan (well 2/3 of it) almost instantly.

Almond Butter Cookies: Kidz In The Kitchen

Apr 04 2012

Posted by Holly as Adventures in Parenting, Kidz In The Kitchen

Think peanut butter cookie with an almond nut flavour. Check out the original here.

I would like to note that I am not a regular almond butter user. In fact, I have only purchased almond butter maybe twice before in my life and eventually threw it out months or maybe it was years later! I was motivated to try these cookies because one of my kids can’t eat peanut butter. I was surprised that all the cookies were gone in just a few days. Nobody raved over this recipe but they quietly went about eating every last one!

Not to mention how much fun it is to make this type of cookie. My kids had lots of fun rolling the dough into balls and pressing them down with a fork. (“Hey mom, isn’t this like playdough?”)

Tracy and her little man share this fun Easter post.

My three year old and I been talking about Easter coming up soon, and gearing up with crafts and recipes. While cruising my current obsession, Pinterest, I found a photo of cute little chicks made with eggs. The link didn’t have a recipe, so I just went ahead and tried to figure it out on my own.
