Here are some simple recipes, all tried and tested with my own kids.

By Cathy James on March 11th, 2013% I love having a stash of simple recipes for kids on hand for when the children want to do some baking. This choc chip flapjack recipe is a really great one for kids to try. It’s quick and easy to make, uses ingredients you probably have to hand (or at least available the local store) and it lets children practise lots of practical kitchen and maths skills. Oh, and did I mention it’s yummy?

By Cathy James on January 29th, 2013% I’m sharing our favourite pancakes recipe today because Monday mornings in our house nearly always mean pancakes for breakfast – such a nice way to start the week. It’s also Shrove Tuesday {Mardi Gras} on February 12th, which in the UK is also know as Pancake Day, when pancakes are traditionally eaten as a final feast before the fasting of Lent begins.
My pancakes recipe is easy and quick, which makes it a great choice for encouraging kids into the kitchen. Here’s how to make pancakes with some ideas at the end for extra Pancake Day activities to try with your kids.
