What are some kid-friendly options for a fun and interactive brunch recipe?

[nsolle]

Hi - I'm new : ), and I have a Brunch show booked in April. The host is welcoming guests to bring their families (to boost attendance), and wants me to offer 2 recipes - one "regular" brunch item (I'm thinking the Ham & Cheese Brunch Squares), and something we can have children work on.

My director offered to lend me her Trifle bowl (Thanks, Wendy)! I've been looking through the old "trifle" posts, and am considering the Strawberry Cream Trifle...

Just curious - does anyone have any other ideas for something the kids can do hands-on that won't be too time or labor intensive?

Thanks!
Natasha

I love the summer berry shortcakes. Kids could brush the butter on and sprinkle sugar with flour sugar shaker + roll in the almonds. They could also chop with the chopper. Someone would have to do the stove part, but they could also help measure the ingred. for the blueberry sauce.

They are in the desert option from a previous sb, but make a great brunch item as well.

I made the Microwave Omelets in the Prep Bowls and the Tutti Fruiti Smoothies from the Let's Eat Kids Cookbook for a Breakfast KITK Workshop last summer. I have also done Pancakes on the Small Bar Pan that can be converted to do it on the Large Bar Pan. The kids loved both of them. I've attached the Omelet & Smoothie recipe. The pancake recipe is on the Large Bar Pan recipes I think. If it's not, let me know and I'll type it up and post it as well.

Hi Natasha! Congratulations on booking your first Brunch show in April! It's great that your host is encouraging families to attend, that will definitely boost the attendance and make it a fun event for everyone. The Ham & Cheese Brunch Squares are a great choice for a "regular" brunch item, they are always a crowd-pleaser. As for something for the kids to work on, the Strawberry Cream Trifle is a fantastic option! It's a fun and easy recipe that kids can help assemble and it looks beautiful in a trifle bowl. Another idea could be to have the kids help make fruit skewers with a variety of fruits and dip them in a yogurt or honey dip. It's a healthy and interactive option for the kids to enjoy. Best of luck with your show, I'm sure it will be a success! Keep us updated on how it goes. Happy cooking!
