Kid Friendly Recipes

Dowlin and I went to the kid's cooking class at Macey's tonight. I thought I would post the things we made. Keep in mind that these are definately for kids!

FROSTY

1/2 cup milk
4 tsp. nesquik powder (chocolate or strawberry)
2 cups vanilla ice cream

Add all ingredients to blender and mix well.

FROGS

2 miniature pretzel twists (per frog)
1 sandwich cookie, oreos work well (per frog)
vanilla frosting
2 M&Ms (per frog)

Attach pretzels to the bottom of the cookie with the frosting, these are the frogs feet so one on each side. Add a little frosting to the M&Ms, these will make the eyes.

WONTON CHIPS

30 wonton wrappers
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/4 cup parmesan or romano cheese
cooking spray

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray. Cut wontons in half diagonally, arrange 1/3 of the triangles in a single layer on a baking sheet. In a small bowl, stir together oil, garlic and basil. Use a pastry brush to coat the wontons. Sprinkle with the cheese and bake for 8 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack and repeat with the reamaining triangles. (These were not a huge hit with the kids, I thought they were ok. One mother suggested using cinamon sugar instead.)

APPLE CRISP

1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1/8 tsp. apple pie spice
2 tbsp. frosted flakes cereal
1 tbsp. almonds, walnuts or pecans (optional)

Stir apple pie spice into the apple sauce in a microwave safe bowl; microwave for 15-30 seconds. Sprinkle cereal and nuts over the top and eat warm. (She suggested using the applesauce cups you buy and just having your kids put nuts and cereal on top. Dowlin loved this one!)

EASY S'MORES

graham crackers
chocolate hazelnut spread (Nutella)
marshmallow creme

Take 1 graham cracker and break in half. Spread chocolate spread on 1 half and marshmallow creme on the other. Place on a micorwave safe plate; microwave for 10 seconds.

*Add 10 seconds for each additional s'more that you cook at one time.
