A great place for me to get easy recipes for kids. I have a week in June and a week in July at our local day camp for kids… Week in June and a week in July! I am always looking for easy recipes for the kids to make. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I do have access to an oven if we bake… The theme this year is Sweet and Savory! Found out I am going to have probably double the kids this year!! Last year, I presented them all with Aprons and markers to design them.. Then of course I had one and they became artiists on mine!!
