A few years ago, I had the honor of teaching a “Healthy Snack Making” workshop at the West Virginia State PTA Convention.
The convention was held at Lakeview Golf Resort on Cheat Lake in Morgantown, WV. While the adults attended meetings, the youth had their own schedule filled with workshops and activities—and I was invited to be part of that experience.
Since I’m usually known for baking cookies and sweet treats, this was a bit of a new challenge for me—but one I was excited to take on. Today, I’d love to share some of the highlights and ideas from that workshop in hopes that they inspire you to create fun, healthy snacks with the children in your life this summer.

Here is a review of the Kids Cooking Classes that I worked on with my grandchildren in 2016. The classes were so much fun for everyone. We covered a variety of topics, and made some delicious foods! My classes were designed for a variety of ages.
These camo cupcakes were a big hit at my grandson’s 4 year old birthday party.
Last week my 2 little grandsons from NC came to stay with me for 4 days. One of them has an August 1st birthday. He had his birthday party with friends and NC family before they came to visit. We wanted to have a little party with his WV family while he was here. He requested a camo birthday party because he loves camo! It was also birthday week for his Uncle David. I was having a kids cooking class with them the day before the party, so I decided we would make foods to take to the party. His 6 year old brother wanted to make camo cupcakes and they turned out so cute. Continue reading CAMO CUPCAKES CREATED IN KIDS COOKING CLASS→
This Strawberry Cream Dessert is perfect for any summer gathering. It is cool, creamy, easy to make and delicious.
I was looking through an older cookbook that was put together by the Junior League of Charleston WV when I saw this recipe. I have made versions of this, using chocolate, banana, lemon, vanilla, or butterscotch pudding, but this one had fresh strawberries folded into the pudding and I thought it really sounded good. This recipe, Strawberry Cream Dessert won first place in its division in the 1983 WV Strawberry Festival. That was good enough for me! Continue reading STRAWBERRY CREAM DESSERT-KIDS COOKING CLASS→
These beautiful, homemade cinnamon rolls are so delicious, and were made by some of my granddaughters at this week’s Kids Cooking Class.
The past few classes we have been working on breakfast recipes. We have done simple things like cooking bacon and eggs to making souffles, wraps, quiche, omelets, a crostada, and French toast. I wanted to teach them the art of making homemade cinnamon rolls, even if only this one time in their life. I know that most people don’t take time to do this anymore but I want them to remember doing this with me. Continue reading HOMEMADE CINNAMON ROLLS & KIDS COOKING CLASS→
My cooking classes with the grandchildren focused on breakfast specialties for several classes and we wanted to share some of them.
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, but several of my grandchildren told me they do not like to eat breakfast. They prefer to eat a pop-tart, breakfast bar, or have a parfait. I wanted to show them a variety of foods they could make and would probably like to eat. We came up with some old and new breakfast specialties. Continue reading BREAKFAST SPECIALTIES FROM THE GRANDKIDS→
