Cooking for Kids This Autumn dish may not look like typical kiddie food but my charge’s love it! The ingredients come from the perfect Autumn harvest. The roasted sweet potatoes have a lush, tender texture and great flavor. When paired with maple syrup and apples, they make a deliciously sweet side that works with anything from steak, […]
Cooking For Kids Kids love pasta dishes. This isn’t the typical alfredo sauce recipe most Italian’s use. But, it’s my charges’ favorite dish. To make the recipe even quicker slice pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from the grocery store or use left over cooked chicken instead of cooking chicken breast. You Will Need: Box of penne pasta (8 ounces) 1 cup […]
Cooking for Kids Strombolis are like stuffed pizzas. They are super easy to make, cheezy, oozy, and so delicious. We used premade Italian bread or pizza dough that you can find at most grocery stores or a local Italian restaurant. The basic stromboli just stuffs pizza dough with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and favorite pizza toppings such […]

We used three different colored types […]
Cooking With Kids These bite-sized snacks are soft and moist and stay that way even when cooled. They are the perfect size for school lunch boxes and quick snacks. Mini muffins freeze and defrost well so go ahead make a whole bunch at one time. Be sure to let the kids help gather ingredients, measure, mix, […]
Cooking for Kids The kids I care for love this pasta primavera recipe. I don’t even have to hide the vegetables in the dish – the kids eat them. This is my no frills recipe with no cream or heavy seasonings, just the flavors of olive oil and lemon. Be sure to throw in any […]
Cooking for Kids There is nothing my charges like better than this easy stove top macaroni and cheese. It’s just as easy as making a box of Kraft macaroni and cheese but so much tastier (and I assume healthier because I buy, see, and add all the ingredients). We used penne pasta but you can […]
