Fun kid recipes?

Question

I am babysitting a 3 year old soon and I want her to like me, but the mom to like me, too. I need some kid friendly, fun recipes that are healthy and that she can "help" me prepare.

Answer 1

chopped up bananna with a scoop of icecream or squirty canned cream with a few sprinkles on top.

Answer 2

You could make rice krispy treats they are fairly easy (can be done right in the mircowave) and they are not that bad for you.  You should make ice pops with her.

Answer 3

I have a son that LOVES DIP, so I like to give him raw veggies with hummis to dip them in.  My daughter likes to dip, but doesn't like the texture of hummis, so I just mix in a little ranch to give it a smoother texture (just a little).

Veggie Fries-Blanch some hard veggies (carrots, red peppers, zucchini, gr. beans, asparagus...)  Mix 1c ranch-1/4c olive oil-and 2T lemon juice.  Pour over blanched veggies and marinate for 1-3hours.  Fry veggies in olive oil over med. heat until cooked through and brown on all sides.  Dip in your favorite dip-My kids like ranch of coarse.

Pinwheel sandwiches-spread cream cheese on a whole wheat tortilla and all whatever deli meat-cheese-veggies you like, roll up, and slice into pinwheels.

Make whole grain pasta and add butter or olive oil.  season with Mrs. Dash.  Perhaps some garlic bread on the side.  Easy to make and no sauce to worry about.

Roll hot dogs (or turkey dogs) up inside of crecent rolls with a piece of american cheese.  (lay cheese on the unrolled roll and lay hot dog on the wide end-rolling towards the point)  Cook in oven according to the package directions.

Pasta salads

smoothies-try all kinds of combos till you find what you like.  We like pb and banana around here.

about a T of pb

1 1/2C or so of milk

a frozen sliced banana

1/2 C vanilla yogurt

1/4 tsp vanilla

1T Wheat Germ

Blend for a couple of min. until smooth.

Answer 4

Pizzas are always good, buy some plain pizza bases and let her make her own pizza, she can cut up all her own ingredients and arrange them on the pizza however she likes, my two boys like making them into faces, rocket ships, whatever they want.

Good luck and have fun x*x
