At Haley's preschool this month, they have been making their own snacks. This has made Haley want to do a lot of cooking at home, too. So we've been looking for recipes that are easy for kids to help out with. I thought I'd share a couple!
This one is Haley's current favorite. She asks for it at least once a day. Doesn't really count as a recipe... Just a reminder that it's a good snack, I guess! Sliced apples with a little slice of cheddar cheese on the apple slice. It's yummy!
Another easy, healthy snack... Put a spoonful of peanut butter on a plate with slices of apples and bananas. My kids really like to dip the fruit in the peanut butter.
Last night we made roast beef roll-ups. They were SO good. And very simple. I laid out all the ingredients and let the kids put their own together. The rolling and eating was a little messy, but at least they ate! Just take slices of roast beef and spread a thin layer of cream cheese in the center of the slice. Add a spoonful of rice. Drizzle a little teriyaki sauce over the rice. Add your choice of veggies... we used carrots, avocado, and red peppers. Roll it up and eat it. Delish!
This morning we made chocolate chip muffins for breakfast. I was out of all-purpose flour so I used cake flour. I think that made the batter too thin, so all the chocolate chips ended up at the bottom of the muffins. They were still very tasty.
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 egg
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease or line 12 muffin cups.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Stir in the milk, egg, butter and chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared muffin cups.
Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
We have quite a few other recipes that the kids want to try. I'll post the ones that turn out well!
