School Cancellation & Kids Cooking Lessons – Watch All Episodes Here

The perfect Kids’ school cancellation activities…learning to cook!

School cancelled?! WE GOT YOU!!

The boys and I will be hosting daily cooking lessons for kids at Noon CST on the $5 Dinners Facebook page.

If you can’t watch live, the “replay” and video will stay here on the page and on our YouTube channel, as well as down below.

I know all of these cancellations are so stressful, and we want to help alleviate some of that for you with these educational and entertaining videos and lessons.

And by entertaining, I mean your kids can watch my kids call me “cringe-y.”

And by educational, I mean they will learn something useful and practical…and it’s not about how to beat their favorite video games!

Towards the end of the Taco Soup lesson, I share an IMPORTANT word for parents and how to take your time teaching your kids to cook. Be sure to watch that part! 

Happy cooking, and spending time together in the kitchen!!!
