Easy way to bake with the kids!!

[Lee-Bee]

Thanks for the ideas! I have all the ingredients to make the butternut squash soup tomorrow!!

I just need to clarify for the cake mix and pumpkin puree. Do you mean to make the cake mix as per the box directions and add the canned puree? Or, would I need to tweak the cake mix to accommodate the puree?

I need a kick to get baking with the girls...especially now that I only have 2 kiddos (19 and 23months). I would love any other suggestions for having them 'help' in the kitchen. Right now they just tear apart the pots and Tupperware cupboards and play at my feet :-)
