Family Activity Corner:

Cooking with kids at home is one of the easiest ways to build connections—you get to slow down, laugh together, and share the joy of creating something delicious. I’ve found that even simple steps, like measuring or stirring, help kids feel proud and included. It’s often in these little moments that the best conversations happen. Our 5-ingredient Pumpkin Pie Recipe is the perfect place to start—fun, cozy, and easy enough for everyone to join in!
