Cook-Along Announcement

What: A virtual Cook-Along called Family Time, part of The Little Chefs Project series on The Motherhood.

The Little Chefs Project series consists of live chats called Cook-Alongs taking place every Thursday at 2 p.m. ET until November 15, and each Cook-Along covers a different topic around cooking with kids. Family Time addresses how you can get the whole family involved in meal preparation and clean-up, along with bonding over breakfast, lunch and dinner.

When: Thursday, November 29, at 2 p.m. ET.  It will last 30 minutes.

Where: The Motherhood – here is the link to the page where the class will be held: http://bit.ly/VSSxke

About the class: No matter how busy the schedule gets, there’s never a bad time to get your kids in the kitchen for quality time. Bond over homemade pizzas and buffet-style meals, have the kids help set the table, or start a fun, family clean-up line after sitting down together for dinner. Mealtime is family time!

To participate, just click the link above, log into The Motherhood using your member ID (if you don’t have one, it’s easy and free to sign up), and chat away in the text-based comments. We’ll also have a video feed running during the half-hour Cook-Along, so you’re welcome to show up simply to watch if you’d like!

I headed over to the Chef Boyardee Recipe Page to be inspired for dinner tonight. I decided to try the Pepperoni Spaghetti Bake but being that I made this with the kids and not Brian, that means I  didn’t follow the recipe (on purpose). Our kids LOVE making this recipe … they loved being in the kitchen with as the pictures show!
