Welcome back to Kids In The Kitchen, my weekly linky that is encouraging me, and hopefully you, to get the kids cooking more. You can see the full details of the idea on my Kids In the Kitchen page, I hope you will join in.
This week I had my little ones cooking cheese straws, they were easy to make and they disappeared very quickly once made.
Last week we enjoyed a lovely post from Twin Life Online when the twins cooked a coffee cake and a beautiful picture from All About A Mummy of her baking buddies decorating some cupcakes.
I’d love to see your posts about your kids cooking up a storm. The rules for sharing are simple, just let the kids cook and share your blog post about it. You can also share older posts if you wish.

I LOVE cheese straws but haven't made any for ages. Will either dig out one of D's posts to link up this week or will write up one i have been meaning to write up for ages. xxx
Oh yes, we love making cheese straws! Though this has reminded me that we haven't done it for a while – thanks for that, I'll get onto it!
Oh I might try making these with my kids this weekend since – yet again – the wether is going to be horrendous! Thanks for the idea!
