Lesson 10


For today's Kids Cooking Lessons the assistant chef should pick one of the following kid's recipes below. This is a basic cooking skill that will come easy for them.




Adding Ingredients

We will be working on adding ingredients. Usually at this stage they are great at adding pre-measured ingredients. However, they aren't as proficient at measuring themselves. (That will be Lesson 12)

adding ingredients with kids cooking activities

Homemade Personal Pizzas
English muffins cut in half, bagels cut in half or flat pita bread
Spaghetti sauce or tomato sauce
Shredded Mozzarella cheese
Toppings of choice

Your child can do most all of these steps except the baking. Arrange bread onto pizza pan and spread sauce over top of bread with spoon. Sprinkle with cheese and add toppings.  Be sure to pick up any cheese that has fallen off pizzas onto the pan.  It will burn.  Have an adult bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees or until cheese melts.


Snack Mix
1 Cup Lucky Charms
1 Cup Kix
1 Cup honey nut or apple cinnamon Cheerios
1 Cup raisins or Craisins
1 Cup dried fruit
Let child add pre-measured ingredients and mix all together. You can experiment with different cereal varieties.
