Fun Meals to Make With Your Kids

Hi Everyone,

I just finished up doing a kids cooking class this morning and it was great. We made Parmesan pork chops; green beans with garlic and grape tomatoes; and parmesan corn on the cob. I wanted to share the recipes with you since they were so tasty.

1. Sauté green beans in a tsp. of olive oil until seared.
2. Add a l/2 cup of water and steam for 3-4 minutes.
3. Move the beans to the side of the pan and add a pint of grape tomatoes along with two chopped garlic cloves.
4. Add 1 tbsp. of balsamic vinegar and cook for 3 minutes or until beans are tender and tomatoes start to burst.
5. Season with salt and pepper.

Parmesan Corn on the Cob

4 hot cooked ears corn on the cob
