Holy Week For Kids With Kid Friendly Recipes!
These recipes are all designed to appeal to kids! There are no recipes in here telling you to make kale for Green Thursday, or heart of palm for Palm Sunday. My crew of 4 is delighted to make and eat every one of the included dishes. 😉
While a handful of these recipes are a little more involved, the overwhelming majority are designed to have tiny hands helping in the kitchen. A lot of these can be completely made by kids!
Note that these are all fun little recipes, and while 2 tea party-type menus are included, this book does not have traditional Easter dinner recipes such as lamb, ham, seafood, etc. The recipes are comprised mostly breads and desserts.

Great Cookbook For All Christian Kids!
Although I was born Catholic, I was actually raised by a Catholic mom and a Baptist dad. I also live in the south and many of my close friends are very devoted non-Catholic Christians. So when I tell you that this book is great for all Christian families with kids, I say that with confidence. I really think your family is going to love this cookbook!
Here’s what one mom had to say about her experience making Easter story cookies with her children:
“When my oldest was little we would stand over the dining table and read the Good Friday story. I remember watching her flinch as we would hammer the pecans and then she would help me place the tray in the oven. Every year her face would light up when she would bite into the cookie and see the hollow. She turned 15 this past week, and it’s my prayer that all three of my kids will carry on these family traditions to their own kids to make their Easter mornings more meaningful. This year, thanks to the blessing of your cookbook, we will have new recipes to add. I look at your Family Cookbook as a way to bond families together, strengthen their faith, and through it all, remember the greatest sacrifice ever paid. A simple story read while making a recipe could be that turning point for a child to commit their hearts to Christ. Your cookbook is more than just a cookbook, Lacy. It’s so much more.” -Marina from Mommy Snippets
