It’s always good to get kids to help with household chores, and giving children a good basic knowledge of cooking, kitchen skills, and know how is not only important for later in life but also a fun way to bond. Get some fun and interesting (and easy) kitchen wares in stock, and make dinner as well as lifelong memories. (Kids will also have a great sense of pride when the food is presented,)
Let’s start with the basics- pots and pans. Keep it eco-freindly and safe for the kids by using products that are non-toxic. Some easy to find, and easy on the wallet (but still safe and high quality) choices are the Green Pan and Twiztt collections. You can get all the basics that you need online or in stores near you. Voted “Best in Europe”, the Green Pan is ceramic, non toxic, and contributes to your healthy and sustainable lifestyle. It’s non-stick Thermolon is heat resistant, which means that if you overheat your pan, even up to 450/850, no toxic fumes will be released and the coating will not blister or peel. The food slides off easily (please follow directions, this is not a traditional non-stick pan) while not adding unwanted chemicals to your food. It is easy to clean and store.
For more, go to http://www.green-pan.us or a local Target store.
Twiztt by Joan Lunden was created with the consumer’s safety in mind- simple, afforadable, and healthy. With no nasty chemicals, this product is truly organic.

However, this hash brown breakfast casserole is so easy to make, even the growliest bear will have no problems making it work.
Its also very filling and not too bad on the pocketbook.
To make Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole, you will need:
1. Start by browning the hash browns. Many recipes for breakfast casserole skip this step, but I really like the flavor and texture browning them adds. Also, pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F.

I am sure that everyone has a favorite recipe that they absolutely love. I will admit that I used to not really be much of a Butterscotch fan until I was pregnant with my first child.

1 pkg. yellow cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 C. vegetable oil

This is a great family dinner that really doesn’t take much time to prepare.
