Warm Up with 4 Fun and Kid-Friendly Winter Recipes
When the temperature plunges and the windchill soars, what do you do with your family? Forget about watching movies or playing video games – boring. Bundle up your kids and get ready for some Illinois winter fun. Build a snowman. Strap on a pair of ice skates. Make snow angels. After burning off excess energy, gather the troops and head indoors for some winter warm-up culinary activities. Not sure what to create? Here are four DIY healthy-ish food projects and winter recipes you can make and eat with your kids.
Homemade Hot Cocoa with Snowflake Marshmallows
Sip, sip, hooray! After hours of playing outside, your kids will love dunking Snowflake Marshmallows into a cup of Hot Cocoa. Skip the prepackaged brands and make your own. I recommend preparing the cocoa mix in advance and storing it in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to six months. Another tip: Make the marshmallow batter the day before. This helps it firm up so your kids can stamp out fluffy snowflakes with a cookie cutter.
