Kiddie Cooking with Clorox!

One of my favorite things to do with my daughter is cook! We have the best time finding the ingredients in the cabinet, measuring them out, mixing things up, and eating the final product. It's a great way for us to spend some time together and have a lot of fun.

Clorox has launched a brand new website where you can find all kinds of fun recipes to do with your kids. They have everything for creating science experiments with food, arts and crafts projects, and cooking ideas. Of course we all know that cooking with kids is not the neatest thing, but making a mess is half the fun. Let loose and have a ball knowing that the clean up will be a snap with Clorox! Visit CloroxRecipesforFun.com to learn more!

To celebrate this new website and all the fun to be had with it, Clorox is hosting the Ultimate Mess Sweepstakes! You can tell just by the name that it's got to be fun. Sign up today for your chance to win $10,000 towards the Ultimate Mess Party... you could really make a mess with that! Plus, you will have the chance to win instantly daily. By sharing recipes you could win great prizes; and just for sharing you'll receive a coupon for $1 off Clorox Cleanup.

The new website and the sweepstakes are great ways to get started with sharing your awesome recipes and trying others. Cooking isn't only fun, it's educational too. It's a win win for you and your kids.

To kick things off I am going to share a fun recipe with you that I love to make with my daughter. She's a baker at heart and just adores using the mixer. This recipe doesn't really call for the use of the mixer, but we use it anyway because she loves it so much! This is a super easy, super delicious, and super messy treat! It's a huge hit in my house.

Sticky Bun Breakfast Ring:

2 small tubes refrigerator buttermilk biscuits OR 1 tube Pillsbury Grands buttermilk biscuits
3 Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted
1/2 C. pancake syrup
1/3 C. packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 C. chopped pecans, opt.
1/4 C. chopped almonds, opt.

Spray a fluted pan with non-stick spray.

Combine your butter and syrup in one bowl. In another bowl combine your sugar, cinnamon, and nuts (I didn't use any nuts in mine).

Pour half of your syrup/butter mixture into the bottom of your pan. Then sprinkle half of your sugar mixture on top.

Lay your biscuits on the bottom of the pan, overlapping to form a ring.

Pour the remainder of your syrup/butter mixture over the top and sprinkle with the remaining sugar mixture.

Bake for 20 minutes at 375. I started checking at 15 to see when they were golden brown and ended up taking them out at 18 minutes... so keep an eye on them.

Let them cool for one minute in the pan and then invert them onto a serving platter. Enjoy!


These are super easy and incredibly delicious!
