That’s why we were excited about the Better Homes and Gardens New Junior Cookbook. It starts with a basics section that includes how to read a recipe, measure ingredients and identify cooking tools.

The recipes all fall under categories such as Breakfast, Lunch, Snacks, Dinner, Dessert and Celebrate.  They are great for beginning cooks.

Better Homes and Gardens New Junior Cook Book ReviewWhile the very beginner may need some help around the oven and cutting items up, the recipes are easy to follow for the older child with delightful names such as Baked Potato Boulders and Boogie Board Bites. Each recipe includes a photo and added illustrations to make them extra fun for the kids.

We made both the Fruit Fizzies and the Rainbow Fruit Pizza, which were perfect for my daughters Rainbow Birthday Party.

Better Homes & Gardens New Junior Cook BookWhile we altered the recipe a bit to suit the kids personal tastes, they had a blast making them and declared the recipes and the Better Homes and Gardens New Junior Cook Book a hit.

    This cookbook would actually be great for my 21-year old daughter, who is a “newbie” when it comes to cooking. Thanks for the great review.

    My youngest loves helping in the kitchen, especially when I am making cake and cookies.

Hey there! I’m Tesa, the mom behind 2 Wired 2 Tired. The blog originally got its name because my husband, Dave, and I had two kids born a year apart. Back then, we always joked that “the kids were too wired and we were too tired.”

Fast forward to today—those two kids are navigating college life (how did that happen so fast?!), and our house is a little quieter. But the story didn't stop there. Now that I'm a 50+ mom and an empty nester-in-training, the definition of 2 Wired 2 Tired has evolved.

Today I'm wired for new adventures, Disney magic, smart technology, and unforgettable travel experiences and I’m completely tired of bad gadgets, boring trips!


Whether you're a midlife mom looking for the ultimate 50+ Disney World guide, planning a relaxing Michigan Lake Life getaway, organizing a college dorm packing list, or just looking for a killer recipe to enjoy with a great book, you're in the right place.

The chaotic toddler years might be behind us, but the fun (and the coffee) is always brewing around here. Let's tackle this next exciting chapter together!
