I got some sad news last night, something I can’t share yet on the blog, so I decided to do an uplifting post today and a giveaway. My friends at Cabot Cheese are excited to be working with them to help promote ChopChop Magazine – the fun cooking magazine for families, and their free ChopChop Cooking club – their national healthy cooking campaign to invite every family to join and pledge to cook dinner together once a month for 6 months.
Check out their websites:

I was sent a copy of the magazine and love that it shows in the directions whether or not you need your parents help.
And I thought it was cute that kids could draw pictures and get them published in the magazine – I had to share this one, just because it was drawn by another Hannah!
Cabot Cheese is offering up a one years subscription to Chop Chop, as well as their $25 Cheese Gift Box.
Just leave me a comment about a favorite family recipe you make with your kids now, or one you made with your parents growing up. I’ll pick a random winner in tomorrows post. Good luck!
I hope the sad news isn’t anything major! I have fond memories of helping my mom make scalloped potatoes and ham!
I was always in the kitchen when my mom made her baked macaroni and cheese. Rachel has tried to recreate this recipe with varied success. Mac and stuff is NOT mac and cheese! Maybe the Cabot would help her finally make it properly.
My gramma and I made tacos together once a month for the whole family. So fun to be in the kitchen with her!
My favorite thing to make with my mom was rice krispie treats. i think it’s because she always made a double batch, so they were big and thick, not the thin, compressed pieces other kids’ moms made.
I used to make homemade goulash and mashed potatoes with my grandma. She passed away 10 years ago, and none of us can recreate that recipe, even though we all helped a million times!
LOVE, love, love to make taco’s together…..
Like you, we often did pizza party Fridays for dinner growing up. Everyone was involved in the kitchen, choosing their own toppings, rolling out the dough, etc. Such a fun memory!
My fav family recipe growing up was lasagna, my mom made it all the time and in my teens, I started making it for her birthday dinner. Now I love to make lasagna and other yummy comfort foods for my husband and kiddos.
My kids help me make cookies around the holidays and I love their help!
My favorite childhood memory is of my Mom and Grandma and I spending a whole day baking sugar cookies for our family Christmas. We would take over all the counter space and 2 tables folding table. I remember Christmas music playing and snow falling and it took all of my will as a kid not to eat all the Christmas tree shaped cookies…those were my favorite. 🙂
To get my kids to eat more veggies, I found a squash casserole, I let them help and they reinvented “Squish Squash” with lots of cheese and crumb topping. Still a family favorite today!
Favs: cookies, mac & cheese and anything in Grandma’s crockpot! Smells of the kitchen bring back so many memories!….
Sorry about your sad news, Biz. 🙁
When I think back to having my kids “help” in the kitchen I was smile when I think of decorating sugar cookies! Sprinkle and frosting all over the place! Looking forward to when I can do this with my 2 granddaughters!
My son loves making chili with me. Because my husband and I like it really spicy and he doesn’t; he gets his own little crock-pot and seasons it himself. He loves rummaging through the spice cabinet trying new spices….needless to say hes had some interesting concoctions.
This magazine is too cute! In my house now, zoodles with homemade red sauce are a huge hit! My step-daughter LOVES using the spiralizer.
I always loved helping making cheese balls with my grandma for the holidays!
I don’t have kids yet but my favorite memory in the kitchen was making greek cookies with my nana!
Oh I really want that magazine!!!! Crossing my fingers I’m picked, but if not I may have to subscribe myself 😉
There was never one specific dish I made growing up, but I lived with my grandparents for 3 years and my grandpa always involved me and let me “help” him!
Praying for better news to find you today. Hugs!!
My mother didn’t really cook, nor did my dad, but I remember being in the kitchen with my grandma when she made cookies. I’m not sure how much helping I did though 🙂
