Preparing and sharing food together with parents or grandparents is an activity many of us can recall from our own childhood. Who doesn't remember the smell of holiday baking wafting through the house, or the excitement that a home made birthday cake can bring.
And although times have changed, with free time at a premium, passing these traditions on to our own children can create priceless new memories.
Take a look at the recipe tag on the left for quick, easy and delicious cakes, cookies and snacks. Many are so easy that children can help with the preparation.

Do you have friends or family who have done something that makes them Redpath Acts of Sweetness Ambassadors?
Acts of Sweetness can be anything. Do you know somebody who clears snow for an elderly neighbour? Are you doing the weekly shopping for a busy mom? Did you see somebody giving up a seat to somebody who needed it more?
Submit their Act of Sweetness on the Redpath Facebook fan page.
Every month one lucky winner, or winning family, will receive a collectable Redpath Acts of Sweetness spoon. And if you're living with in the GTA it might even get delivered by the Acts of Sweetness truck.
