When we’re getting ready for a summer BBQ or picnic, managing our time in the kitchen is really important. It helps if our family can dig in with us to help get the food prepped quickly. Courtney’s Sweets has a family favorite tri color pasta salad recipe that is easy for kids to put together on their own. Just boil and drain the pasta for them, and the rest is just a fun “stir together” recipe. It’s a beautiful no-fail crowd pleaser that your child(ren) will be happy to share with their friends and family. Grab the recipe for this beautiful dish—–>HERE.

Are these not the cutest little bumble bees you’ve ever seen? Not only do they look amazing, but they are actually healthy too as they are made from crunchy peanut butter, oats, honey, and almonds. Your children will be excited to make each little bee for themselves. The recipe from Eating Richly calls for enough ingredients to make twenty bees, so your kids will have plenty to share with their friends — that is, if they can keep from eating them as they go!

If you have never tried cupcake cones, do it! You kids will be delightfully confused by this recipe as they are pouring in the cake batter into the cones. Once they are baked and cooled, top them with your favorite frosting, OR go straight for your favorite ice cream instead! Honestly, I love them with a scoop of ice cream, it’s like having birthday cake and ice cream, but in a cone! You can’t go wrong with this look and these flavors. Hop over to Mini Cooking for the full recipe—–>HERE.
