Maria Nasir“I think that the best thing we can do for our children is to allow them to do things for themselves, allow them to be strong, allow them to experience life on their own terms, allow them to take the subway…let them be better people, let them believe more in themselves.”
― C. JoyBell C.
Kids love to cook things that they love to eat…this can be the start of making them independent, self reliant human beings. Do encourage them to do most if the things on their own but do supervise at all times and please read the safety instruction for cooking with kids before you start at

I agree with you Maria on kids being self sufficient, helps them when they grow up. You are doing great and what a simple and lovely recipe.
Thanks dear Ash 🙂 I believe the more kids will learn to cook, the less they will want to eat out. There is nothing better than home cooked. xx
