SopapillaCheesecake {DIY} Recipe: Kelly's Sopapilla CheesecakeNow that summer is upon us and the kiddos are at home, what better way to interact than to have them help in the kitchen! Cooking and baking is a life skill that is so valuable and aids in developing their independence. Cooking can boost kids’ self-esteem and confidence, as they spend quality time with you while contributing to something that the whole family can enjoy.

For the past two weeks, I have had Taylor, my 12-year-old stepson, and Riki, my 13-year-old sister-in-law, staying with us. Last weekend, we took a Sunday afternoon to bake some desserts. Riki makes a Sopapilla Cheesecake that is so yummy, I had to have her teach me how to make it, and wow, is it easy! With six, easy ingredients and 30 minutes, your house will smell of fragrant cinnamon and sugar and best of all, you got to spend quality time with your kids!
