Getting The Kids Involved

A little bit ago I had someone reach out to me asking for some advise. Although she felt she needed to make a change the main problem was having two young children in the house and it's easier to just throw something quick together.  After I explained my meals aren't actually that complicated, I suggested getting the kids involved. I have always enjoyed having my kids in the kitchen with me. If they are able to pour, measure and stir they are old enough to help in some way.
Last night I decided on a Honey Fried Chicken. I used my favorite Gluten Free Bisquick recipe found on the box but instead of an egg wash I used honey.  For this I threw some gloves on the kids and let them have at it. They did all the measuring together, my daughter handled the honey and my son coated them. I then coated a pan with extra virgin olive oil and brought the coating to a golden brown color. I then threw them into a greased pan and put them in the oven at 350 degrees until fully cooked tgrough. I then made a Garden Vegetable Quinoa as a side.
The kids had fun and it came out great!
