My thoughts:

I was really excited about getting the opportunity to review this book.  I love baking and trying new recipes.  When the book arrived I immediately fell in love with the whole concept.  It’s a great way to get the kids in the kitchen with you.  All the recipes are fun and a great way to explore the bible with young children while cooking.  This book would make a great gift for a whole family so the parents get ideas on spending time with the kids while teaching them about the bible.  My kids and I had fun making one of the recipes in the book.

We followed the easy steps in the book.  As you can see the book isn’t confusing it’s actually fun and colorful so kids have fun following the steps and there are questions and topics that you can discuss with your kids.

These are the cookies before they hit the oven.  It was our first time making them so I was a little worried.

These are some of the finished cookies.  I let the kids sprinkle the colored sugar on them and have as much fun and they wanted with them.  They really enjoyed the taste of the cookies as well.  We can’t wait to try another recipe from the book next week.
