We know the thought of cooking with your children is unusual, but there’s no need to feel intimidated!

(hah) Try simple recipes like these listed below where your kids can participate and help you along the way!

Adults: Season then mix your ingredients. Pan-fry or bake your meatballs after rolling them..
Children: Roll the meatballs into equal sizes, then flatten to desired thickness, and place them on a plate ready for pan-frying or freezing.
