Well it’s really best to stay out of the kitchen for your vacation but sometimes it just can’t be avoided. If the rain comes down outside, chances are everybody will want to be in the house. Here are some kitchen activities to keep people entertained.

Outrageous Cake
Decorate an outrageous cake or cupcakes. Especially if there is a birthday happening. No Birthday? Bake a vacation celebration cake.

Bake a Care Package
Why do Care Packages only happen at Christmas? Fill them with cake, shortbread, muffins what ever. Deliver them in person to friends and family while they are still warm. This is a great excuse to visit people and create some smiles in the world.

Your Favorite
Make your absolute favorite dish for dinner tonight. I mean everything. If it’s steak, make sure it is your favorite cut. Your favorite vegetable exactly the way you like it. Favorite side dish, or, side dishes. Favorite dessert. Favorite beverage. Bonus points if you can serve it at an unusual location.

Homemade Pizza
Make it right from scratch. Throw the pizza dough – have a great time. Get some Italian music and everybody wear fake moustaches.

New Adventures
Make something that you have always wanted to do but never have. Bring everybody into the kitchen, play some tunes, make it a party.

Gingerbread House Making a gingerbread house is a great project for everybody to work on. Teaches teamwork, creativity and is a great way to kill an afternoon of lousy weather.

Dangerous Gingerbread Men
K, this one is kind of twisted. Make mean looking gingerbread men. Give them two heads or extra arms or no arms. Then decorate with snarl faces and scars. Good for a laugh and makes for an interesting addition to a care package.
