Does anyone have suggestions for Kids in the Kitchen Cooking show recipes, specifically, main dishes?

Thanks,
Suzy in Texas
 
If you will PM me with your email address, I can send you some this weekend. I use the "Let's Eat Cookbook and the "Kids in the Kitchen Cookbook" both of which are discontinued! I had on Workshop in July with 3 kids....one in September with 10...have 2 scheduled in October with 16 and already have 10 reservations for my November one. I have one scheduled also in December that I am just starting to publicize! One big hint is to go very simple and put any recipes in "kid-speak"!

Sorry, I am new to this site. Not too "site coordinated", if you know what I mean. Please send me the KITK info too!

Here is a booklet that I have used at my kids shows....I did not create this.....but I did tweak it for my own personal use. I found it on one of the PC loops. I will post some more of my kids files after church.

I use the Lets Eat cookbook for my kids shows.....caterpillar pizzas, fluffy PB dip are two favorites and great for kids to make.

Thank you!

Could you please send me the information also. I am doing a MOPS group. my email is [email protected].
Thanks,

ok....thanks for waiting! Here are some Kids show ideas I have found here, there and everywhere on the various loops. Most or all of these are not my original creation...but may have been tweaked by me for my own personal use. Hope this helps.

The last file "Beginning Cooks Tool Kit" is one that I had found online somewhere and thought it would make a great hand out to parents at a kids show. I have never used it yet, and it would most likely need to be updated for current products.
Melinda will post some more in another message

If you still need the information on the KITK Workshops that I do, please email me at [email protected] if you have not already PM'd me. Since several people have posted their ideas now, I am not sure who wants what if you did not PM me. It will be next week since I am busy preparing for my October workshops that are being held on Saturday. Thanks!
 
Amazing notes for KITK Shows - LOVE IT! Thanks for sharing! :) :love:
 
I appreciate all the communication and files listed on this thread. I have been doing Kid's classes and if you enjoy working with kids it's like finding a niche in your PC business. I have had up to 10 kids at a time in my classes and have maintained up to 8 every week since July (except on holidays). It's steady income and I use PC products as part of their "kit". I issue a kit every other month so I get a show's worth of orders besides the orders the mom's bring me for themselves. I have enjoyed it and the kid's really look forward to the socialization with other there age (5-10).

This is fresh information (mentioned above) for me and helps with updating what we've been doing. When I started this idea i could hardly find any information and now look it' really taking off! I have also done a slumber party where I charged the hostess a flat fee per child and created a kit for each guest with P.C. tools and information about my classes. I am waiting for those booking dates to confirm but it was great advertising and I got a show's worth of sales just from her event.

Thanks again for sharing,
