I am NOT OOP, OOP is u/Crinni_Boo Originally posted to r/Cooking In search of kid friendly recipes please! Mood Spoilers: wholesome! Original Post: April 28, 2026 So I’m a stepmom to a 12, almost 13 year old boy and would like to get him in the kitchen more with me (my husband and I have every recipe we’ve ever made together archived in a recipe box which we plan on leaving to him one day). I would love to hear everyone’s go to recipes or kid safe / kid friendly ones (I’m happy to do the chopping but if there’s recipes that don’t need knives at all that would be great too!) Thank you all in advance!! Editor's note: OOP received lots of responses, listing some comments supporting OOP and stepson Some Relevant / Best Comments Commenter 1: Get the Betty Crocker Boys and Girls Cookbook! My mom had it as a kid, and I had it as a kid as well. Tons of easy recipes that don't involve dangerous kitchen equipment. Plus, that meatloaf recipe is the GOAT. Commenter 2: And start with his favorite foods. That will help to keep him interested. Commenter 3: He is 12 - an adolescent, not a young child. Unless there is a disability you have not mentioned, he should have the manual dexterity and language comprehension to be able to make anything in your box, especially with your assistance. He almost certainly already understands that stoves are hot, knives are sharp, glass and ceramic are breakable, etc., and can probably already see over the top of the stove without needing a stool- which are the main concerns for small children. Start him with super simple things that are forgiving with respect to exact measures, timing, etc. Spaghetti with (jarred) sauce and meatballs with a garden salad. Roasted chicken pieces with baked potatoes and sauteed vegetables. Grilled cheese and a can of soup. Then do a stew or braise- paprikash or stroganoff or chicken and dumplings or even chili: something where he sees that "4 hours" cooking time isn't necessarily 4 hours spent in the kitchen. OOP: Thank you for the ideas! He’s not disabled but neither my husband nor his bio mom are super keen on the knife thing just yet (he does have a tendency to get distracted as we all do) so I just don’t want to cross any boundaries with them Commenter 4: Find out what he wants to make and start from there. Commenter 5: Good for you for trying to get him in the kitchen. Both my boys learned to cook, and their spouses have appreciated it. Also good for you for respecting his dad and bio mom’s wishes. This way of thinking will make his and your life so much more pleasant. It also shows him respect. Great job Bonus Mom! OOP: Thank you!! It’s an important skill to have; I spent a ton of time in the kitchen with my grandmother growing up- I couldn’t wait to do stuff on my own 🤣 and thank you, we prefer as much peace as possible when it comes to that! 🤣 granted I love cooking but I’m not gonna be coming over to make him dinner every night once he’s on his own, ya know? Commenter 6: Take him shopping, let him pick something new to try, and find a recipe to make it or watch a video together to find out how to prepare it. That really gets kids interested in food and cooking OOP: We used to go to a fancier grocery store and pick a bunch of weird fruits to try and get a little something nice for Dad when he gets home from work - we could definitely start that up again! Commenter 7: You could have him pick a few key ingredients he enjoys and would like to work with and then find recipe options from there. Getting him involved in the whole process from the start can make it feel more like his meal than just following someone else's instructions. Commenter 8: Ours like to try recipes from cookbooks that are themed after their favorite shows and games! Commenter 9: At that age, there's nothing he can't do. Best way to get him engaged is have a night that's "his" - he chooses the recipe (have a few recipes already picked out for him to choose from), and does all the cooking (with a little help from you, of course). For my boys, pizza, tacos, and anything with potatoes was always a sure-fire way to get them in the kitchen :) I saw further down that knife skills are an issue, so get one of those kitchen choppers to help with the chopping and dicing. OOP: Thank you very much! I don’t expect him to have the same passion in the kitchen as I do so I suuuuuuper appreciate you sharing a way to keep him interested as well! Commenter 10: Your local library probably has a few kids cookbooks. I loved checking them out as a kid and getting to make a few things. And they are likely to be written in simple to follow steps, with instructions to get an adult to help with more dangerous steps.   Update: May 24, 2026 (nearly one month later) UPDATE!! So I’m the stepmom who was looking for recipes a little while back to teach her 12 (almost 13) year old stepson how to cook and I have fantastic news! We had him for some time over Mother’s Day weekend and we made strudels together! He’s a natural in the kitchen and I could not be prouder 🥹. We’ve been very busy this weekend too! So far he’s learned how to make grilled cheese, watermelon soda, coconut milk fudge-sicles, burgers and corn on the cob! I showed him around the kitchen, taught him to never be afraid of any kitchen tool no matter how dangerous it seems - just appreciate what it can do, respect it and just be careful. I said, “For example - the blender has super sharp blades to blend whatever you put in it. I know those blades could hurt me if I touch them - I respect the blender is gonna use those blades to blend and do what I need it to do for my recipe. I am just careful not to touch them - a little common sense will keep you out of most trouble.” He said “Oh, I have plenty of that” - perfect! 🤷‍♀️ He looked at our veggie chopper and said he was looking forward to using that soon. I said, “well I’m always looking for new recipes to make so today won’t be the last day we cook together” and he said, “I hope not, this is so much fun!!” 🥹. He requested we make a cherry pie together today since “I see we have pie crust mix and cherries”. Am I the proudest stepmom in the universe rn? 😭 Nobody will ever tell me otherwise!! ALSO - bio parents agreed to nylon safety knives thanks to some suggestions I read on my last post, so he got to try out the set we bought him. He felt like a big deal having his own stuff and used it like he was born to do so! I told him in between weekends that he’s here try to think of recipes he’d like to try or that he wants me to teach him. I feel like this is the start of something beautiful and my heart is gonna burst with pride 🥰 I admittedly got a little misty eyed watching him chop up the watermelon with little to no guidance - I just told him to cut the green parts off and he went to town. ALSO (part 2) - I had a legend planner cookbook notebook thing in the kitchen that I’d never used so I started a food diary for him for when he gets older. I wrote down all the funny things we talked about or that happened while we made the recipes together and I’m putting them in the order we made them / marking them with the date. I might only be stepmom, but I’ll be damned if he’s not gonna be able to eat well! Editor's note: OOP has received lots of positive comments, listing some relevant comments Relevant Comments Commenter 1: You sound like a great stepmom. Very nice post. OOP: Thank you! I didn’t know he would take such a shine to it but I’m in my absolute glory 🤣🥰 for Xmas he got me a travel mug that says “best bonus mom ever”- gotta fulfill 🤣🤷‍♀️. Commenter 2: This post made me just smile, and smile, and smile some more! You are a great step-mom, for sure. These moments will last well into that child's adult life. I'd be bursting with pride for him, too! OOP: I’m glad I could make yall smile!! 🥹 As a stepmom sometimes I feel more like a grandparent or fun aunt than a “real” parent, so I try to think of what my grandmothers taught me growing up. My dad’s mom and I were always in the kitchen together or playing animal crossing on GameCube then only stopping to cook together 🤣🥰 I’d like to think she would be proud of him too 🥹 To say I spent my first official Mother’s Day making strudels with my stepson- I always dreamed of something like this with him and to see him be such a natural at it just holy shit!! 🤣. Commenter 3: this is so wholesome and honestly the stuff that sticks with kids forever. grilled cheese, burgers, strudels -- you’re teaching him the fundamentals and more importantly that cooking is something he can do and be proud of. the fact that he's a natural at it just means he’s gonna keep wanting to do it, which is the real win here. keep going with this, sounds like you’ve found something yall both love doing together. OOP: I’m thrilled that he took such a shine to it! Plus I feel like it gives him more to look forward to in between time together 🥰. Commenter 4: OP this post is wonderful! I’m beaming with secondhand joy because I can just feel the love and pride you have for him through your words. Nobody has mentioned the legend planner notebook yet so please let me say - if my parents had made something like that for me or with me, I would be ugly sobbing with gratitude. I lost them at 35 and 36. I have some handwritten recipes, my parents compiled and photocopied family recipes into a binder for us. I cherish them. But the funny things we talked about? Which ones we made together? Some silly thing that made them proud of me? God. I’d give anything for a record of that. OOP: Aww thank you so much!! I’m absolutely stupid excited about it as well as filling all those pages up!! 🥹🥰 some of my favorite memories of my grandparents’ house are of something we did in the kitchen together and my heart is absolutely swollen that I get to pass that on to my husband’s son, an extension of my absolute favorite human in the entire universe 🥹🙌✨. Commenter 5: That’s such a solid lineup for a 12-year-old, and strudels is a great call because it teaches real skills without being boring. Grilled cheese and burgers are perfect starter wins, imo, he’s gonna keep building confidence fast. OOP: My husband and I had gone to a flea market the Sunday before Mother’s Day and came home with about $50 worth of raspberries, strawberries and kiwi for $10- I needed something to use it up before it went bad and I had thawed phyllo dough in the fridge, so I asked him if he wanted to make them with me. He absolutely LOVED it- he got to learn how to use a pastry brush AND I said we could have dessert before dinner 🤣🥰. I did some preparing before he came over on Friday- picked a bunch of recipes that I thought he would like and got all the ingredients. Then I made a list of the recipes we could make and told him he’s in charge of when we make what this weekend. Today we made French toast sandwiches (and I showed him how to make black pepper brown sugar bacon “mats” for those), cherry crumb pie and tonight’s dinner will be chicken Parmesan lasagna rollups 😍. Commenter 6: That's so awesome, what a fantastic update! It sounds like he's really found something he loves, and that's a huge win. The way you're teaching him to respect the tools is perfect. For a kid who's really getting into cooking and using all the different gadgets, having good, reliable tools makes a big difference in the long run. OOP: Thank you! Instead of “what are we having for lunch” now it’s “I’m ready to make lunch” 🥰.   My 12 year old stepson made this!!: May 25, 2026 Cherry Pie Image Description of the cherry pie A picture of a cherry pie in a clear glass pie dish, sitting on the center rack of the oven. Looks about to be done. There is the golden crumbly topping covering the majority of the surface with the cherries fully baked and warm glowing around the edges. end of the description I’m the stepmom on r/cooking who asked for kid friendly recipes then had a good update yesterday- here is the cherry crumb pie he requested that we make together because “I see we have pie crust mix and cherries” 🥹🥰 So proud of him, it didn’t even survive a full 8 hours!! Concluding Comments Commenter 1: that's awesome, OP! he definitely has a knack for baking. respect for getting him involved in the kitchen, sounds like a fun bonding experience too! OOP: He’s been an absolute natural in the kitchen so far! I’m thrilled he’s taken such a shine to cooking and baking! Commenter 2: that's awesome to hear, props to your stepson for getting into baking. sounds delish and it must feel great seeing him take the initiative like that! OOP: I gave him minimal instruction and helped him here and there (gave him a little demo for some of the steps) and he freakin DID IT!! 🥰🥰🥰 thank you for the kind words!! Commenter 3: Aw that looks delicious! He did such a good job, I wish I could bake that well lol. OOP: Thank you!! I gave him instructions and let him go at it- even the filling is from scratch! Commenter 4: That is an encouraging start. What will you suggest he try next? OOP: I have cupcakes in the freezer that I think we’ll save til next time he’s here- I asked him if he wanted to try cake decorating and he said yes (I’m so freaking excited 🤣🥰) I’ll show him how to make the Wilton buttercream frosting and pipe different shapes and stuff OR get out the super fun cupcake books and decorate up a storm 🥰. OOP on her husband's parents and his life skills of cooking OOP: My husband’s parents (thankfully no contact now but that’s another story) never really taught my husband the life skill of cooking so when we started dating we would have lots of “cooking dates” where we’d pick a recipe, go to the store together and then make it together / have happy hour 🤣🥰 he said to kiddo “I lucked out finding the woman of my dreams who loves to cook for us but she can’t come over to your house every day to cook for you when you’re an adult”- he said he’s excited to learn how to cook so he can do more by himself!   DO NOT COMMENT IN LINKED POSTS OR MESSAGE OOPs – BoRU Rule #7 THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP submitted by /u/Choice_Evidence1983 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

Long story short, we have two bags of frozen meatballs that I gotta make my way through, as my sister doesn't like them, and my mom is vegetarian. Here are some of the dishes I've made with them so far: -spaghetti with meatballs, tomato sauce, parmesean, and basil of course -very experimental and not very good meatball sandwich with broccoli and cheddar sauce when I wanted a break from meatball + tomato sauce combinations -pasta bake with meatballs, tomato sauce, parmesean, basil, and mozzarella on top -sandwich my dad used to make me with meatballs, cheese, lettuce, and mayo and mustard -haven't made it yet, but I'm thinking I might try a meatball curry at some point? Had some really good meatball curry at our local Sri Lankan restaurant. Any suggestions will be appreciated! One of the bags is "Italian" and one is "Swedish" but they both taste identical and just like generic, non-distinct meatballs really. I'll still be eating a crap ton of spaghetti and meatballs, but some variety would be nice. submitted by /u/questionerofblender to r/Cooking [link] [comments]

I need to know if I’m the AH I don’t think I am but everyone who is the primary chef in their household says I’m not everyone who doesn’t cook very much says that I am so let me share the story. I cook about 95% of the time in my house and it’s because 1 I enjoy it and 2 I am just a better chef than my wife and she will tell you I cook better than she does so we don’t typically have any issues when it comes to who’s cooking we pretty much know that I’m probably gonna be the one to cook. But my wife does make certain dishes that are fantastic. For example, she makes spaghetti and meatballs that are the best thing I’ve ever had in life. The meatballs are about the size of golf balls. The sauce is always great. The noodles are always cooked perfectly. The problem is cooking This meal takes a lot of prep usually about 2 to 2 1/2 hours to prep and including cook time for the sauce and the pasta, The whole dish takes about 5 hours to make. I know this so I don’t ask her to make it that often, maybe once every other month. This month when I asked, she said yes, but she said that she wanted to try something different with the sauce. I reluctantly said OK once she made it it didn’t taste the same. I didn’t tell her that it didn’t taste the same, but the next time I asked her to make it I asked her to make it the usual way . two months went by and I asked her to make the spaghetti again she said yes, but this time she wasn’t gonna cut up the onions and put them in the meatballs because it takes too long to cut the onions. I volunteer to cut them for her because I want them the way that she usually makes them. She said I didn’t have to that they will still be as good, as it turns out they weren’t as good. Two more months went by and I asked her again to make the spaghetti she said yes but this time she was gonna do the new recipe with the sauce and she wasn’t gonna make the meatballs. I told her if you’re gonna do the sauce the way you did it the last time and you’re not gonna make the meatballs then you don’t have to cook it because it’s not how I want to eat it. She got mad and called me an asshole and said that I was talking about her food. I don’t think I am because I just want the one dish she makes every other month to be the exact same because that’s the way I like to eat it. It’s been about four months since I asked for spaghetti because I don’t want the argument, and I only want to eat it the way she originally cooked it for me. So am I the asshole for telling her if she’s not gonna cook it the usual way that you don’t have to cook at all? submitted by /u/Husbae7536 to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

I made this animation a while ago but it didn’t get much visibility – so I thought I’d share it here with people who might appreciate it😅 It was the result of months of work. I'm mainly a character artist, but I also like playing around with Maya's nCloth – and I had a lot of fun making this video. Hope you enjoy it!
