My twin girls and I find recipes that we say we are going to try but it doesn’t happen other than pre made dough! This would give us the motivation to bake.
Barbara Platt says
My kids didn’t help me in the kitchen as much as my grandkids do. My granddaughter loves to cook and bake. She loves making breakfast and baking cookies and cakes.
Mary Armfield says
My children absolutely love helping in the kitchen…they are all master chefs in the making. This book would be an awesome addition to their kitchen library. Everything in the book looks delightfully delicious and a lot of fun for the whole family to be involved. Thank you for the opportunity.

I have great memories with my daughter, she always wanted to sit on kitchen counter while I baked cakes.

I love baking cookies and other goodies with my niece. She enjoys helping me out in the kitchen. It’s a great way for us to spend extra time together and I get to teach her how to bake gluten free.
MANDA says
I loved making cookies with my niece and nephew.
Becki Forbes says
My children loved to make snickerdoodles, because they loved rolling them in the cinnamon and sugar. My granddaughter and I love making homemade pizzas together, it is a tradition for sleepovers.
Love the book and those ideas are great!!

What a great idea for getting the whole family involved!
Heather T. says
Growing up, my mom and I completely trashed our kitchen around the holidays baking everything from caramel corn and cookies to peanut brittle and fudge. Our home always smelled delicious for days and it felt like it took days to clean our messes too. lol We’d crank Christmas music and have the best time together! Now that I’m a mom, I love sharing the same fun with my own shorties and it’s always awesome when we share those moments with my mom/their nana too!
Marty says
I love”playing with my food” so would love this book. I do parties for all holidays and am always trying to come up w/ some thing for the kids so think that this book would help me alot.
rosa says
SOOO ORIGINAL!!! LOVE IT ALL!!!
Patricia says
Aaw, they’re sooo cute!!
We have a nice family tradition (well, sort of… it started somewhere about two years ago): Sunday is waffle-day! And Dad has to bake them for breakfast, it doesn’t taste half as good if I do them… 😉
During the week it is not easy to get my two little boys in the kitchen – the’d rather play lego than help. But these animals look so delicious and cute that the boys might really want to help me do them!
Darren Stokes says
I have nice memories of making Christmas cookies with my mom and sister.
Amanda Burris says
My 10 yr old is a natural in the kitchen and isn’t afraid to try new things. With something this amazing maybe we can rope his older brother, who is super picky, into eating healthier.
Gail says
Always looking for ways to entice the Grands into healthier snacks @ Grandma’s; can’t wait to get this & share more cooking experiences with them…we always have such fun!
Sylvia says
My kids have made bread roll snails and bear toast! We love to get creative!
Terri S says
I love the memories of making Easter eggs with my nieces and nephews and cookies at Christmas.
Julie M says
Everytime I bake or when I instructed my now adult children to bake, it was to say out loud “with love”. The recipes always worked out. It is lovely to know that they bake and enjoy it. My grandson recently said “I choose chocolate” when asked what kind of cupcakes he was making. And the tradition continues…..
Lori Humphrey says
Every year during the Holiday season our family spends a weekend baking and decorating cookies, breads, and holiday treats to give to our loved ones. It is something I look forward to. We have created some wonderful memories that I will treasure for the rest of my life.

We have a fun cooking tradition for this time of year–we like to make something for Halloween. This year will be doughnut vampires. Another year we did tootsie pop spiders; another time we did vampire cookies. Lots of fun.
