Hi Guys,

I have a show coming up and the host wants to do a kid easy meal and a kid easy desert. She wants to do something that her kids can do. Any advice. I asked her exactly what she was looking for and she is looking for something her kids can do in the kitchen that preview how kid easy many of our products can be since many of the guests have children and work outside the homes and she wants to show them that there are easy recipes out there that kids can help with or even prepare. Any thoughts are appreciated.:chef:
 
My 5 yr old loves stuff her size. How about changing up the mini pesto pizzas so they can top it their way and then for dessert, my favorite thing to do with my daughter is scoop an 8X8 brownie mix into the mini muffin pan bake (about 15 min) immediately after taking them out of the oven she puts a piece of her favorite candy in the middle. Or you could do individual microwave cakes in the prep bowls. Hope ome of these help.
 
My 4 yr old LOVES the Crunchy Whole Grain Chicken Bites in the 29 Minutes To Dinner cookbook. He helps me make them often.
 
Chocolate Chip Sensation is a very easy kid friendly recipe.
