Do your kids act as helpless in the kitchen as mine do sometimes? Oh they know how to cook most of the food they like, they just seem to think we have a short-order cook on staff ready to serve them. And while having a meal plan helps alleviate some of those issues, it doesn’t solve everything.
That’s why I like having some easy lunches the kids can make themselves. This can be anything from sandwiches to nuggets or premade pizzas. But as they get older, we have been working more on their skills in the kitchen. It’s time they start learning to cook food rather than just heat it up.
Some of my children are more willing to learn than others, but it is important that they know how to cook on their own. You wouldn’t believe the number of kids I encountered at college who couldn’t even figure out how to boil water for Ramen Noodles.
But once your kids master some of these easy-to-make lunches, they can move on to more challenging recipes. And that’s when the real fun starts; experimenting, adding their own ingredients, cooking by taste and not measurements.
If your kids are getting started in the kitchen, these Easy Lunches Kids Can Make are the perfect starting point!
