Bean and Cheese Burrito
Hi Everyone! So here is the first of our Kids Cook Monday recipe. It went really good! My girls had a lot of fun making these really easy burritos despite being a little sick. I had a whole bunch of fun eating them, they were delicious!
They used a three blend shredded cheese mix of cheddar, jack and parmesan instead of just jack cheese.
Did your kids cook dinner tonight? If so, what did they make?
Kids Cook Monday
Welcome to our first Monday of my kids cooking. My girls are excited about starting Kids Cook Monday, as am I! The fun part is that they choose the recipes! The Kids Cook Monday is part of the Monday Campaigns that encourages families to set aside the first night of every week for cooking and eating together as a family. So on Mondays I will share with you the recipe the girls decide to cook and will post pictures and provide an update on the process and outcomes and I hope you will do the same.
