My kids love to help me in the kitchen… well, most of them… Shredding apples and using the mixer are tasks a seven year old can definitely handle. My oldest daughter made the vanilla extract in the little bottle.
I try to make food for my children that is extremely healthy, but every now and then they just want a good ole pancake. I minimize the sugar intake by using Swerve in place of the sugar and then try to add only a small amount of maple syrup. We never use pancake syrups because most are full of high fructose corn syrup and other junk.
I love using an iron skillet. I gave up all those toxic non stick pans a long long time ago.
If you like you can add a little spoonful of brown sugar to make it extra sweet.
I like to add extra shredded apples to the batter once it's in the pan. If you like cinnamon, sprinkle a bit more on while it's in the pan.
My kids love when I cut things into shapes. You can use little vegetable cutters or Bento Box tools to cut the butter into a fun shape. My teenagers don't really care, but making a flower shape or a animal shapes makes it special for the younger kids!
We often let the camera eat first at our house…
