10 Recipes Kids Can Make on Their Own

In honor of my little sous chef's 10th birthday, I thought a round up of recipes kids can make was in order. He has made all of these, most with little assistance from me.

Use your own judgement as to what your own kids can handle. Mine has been in the kitchen with me since his 1st week of life when he supervised me prepping dinner from a baby seat our first day without Daddy.

TMNT M&M Cookies: yes, another Turtles recipe. If your kids aren't obsessed like mine was, just make them like chocolate chip cookies and mix the candies in the dough.
