I have found that when my kids help make the food we are going to eat, they are more excited to eat it. One way to get them excited to help in food prep is to use cookbooks made for children. The 3 listed below are the ones that I & my family have liked the most for the layouts, and of course the great recipes that are easy to make.
Betty Crocker's Kids Cook!: This cookbook has some fun layouts and easy recipes. Puts the finished product into a fun layout.
Mom and Me Cookbook: Shows some pictures of ingredients and the process as well as the end product--a great help for visual learners or those not reading yet.
The Disney Magic Kitchen Cookbook: Uses Disney characters in the layouts of the finished product, as well some fun names for the food like "Body Shop Black Bean Salad." Also has great information about creating healthy menus, activity ideas for being physically active.
Each of these cookbooks have main dishes, sides and salads, snacks and treats and more. Have fun preparing food for the family with the family! There are other great recipe books out there, these are simply the ones I recommend based on actual use.
