We don't know about you, but if we ever got rich, we'd hire a personal chef post-haste. Even if that's a dream that never comes true, on this holiday you can live like you've got a personal chef by hiring your kids to do the cooking.
Personal Kid Chef Activity
Your kids get to play chef by taking your order from cute printable menus and whipping up your treat in the kitchen.
