Kid friendly recipes?
who..me
My 8 year old is getting interested in the kitchen. Does anyone have any good starter recipes or advice for him? Thanks
Answer
He's still young, so you probably don't want him using sharp knives or doing the actual cooking.
Have him be your helper, that way you can teach him how to prep food and about healthy meals.
Stuffed Shells- He can mix up the cheeses and stuff the shells for you.
Garlic Bread-He can spread the Garlic Mixture on the bread
Pizza-You can make boboli,pillsbury or even english muffin pizzas with him.
Grilled Cheese Sandwiches- He can put the cheese and bread together.
Salads- pasta salad,potato salad, tossed salad etc. He can put all the ingredients together that you set out.
You can also have him help make desserts like fruit parfait,cookies or No-Bake Pies.
Here is a recipe for Italian wedding soup that he can roll the meatballs and learn about adding all the different flavors together.
Italian Wedding Soup
A delicious and healthy soup full of veggies, mini-meatballs and pasta.
(Serves 4 - 6)
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 ribs celery, washed and diced
1 small onion, small dice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces ground chicken or turkey
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated or ground nutmeg
Salt and pepper
5 cups chicken stock or broth
1 cup water
1 cup dried small pasta
Small bunch fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped or
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped (optional)
Directions:
In a deep pot over medium heat add oil, diced carrots, celery and onions. Season with salt and pepper. Cover pot and cook veggies 5 or 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. While the veggies are cooking:
Prepare meatballs: combine the ground chicken, egg, grated cheese, bread crumbs, salt, pepper and nutmeg in a large bowl. Mix well until the mixture forms a ball.
Take teaspoons full of mixture and roll into small balls. Set aside.
Uncover the soup pot and add broth and water to the pot. Increase heat to high and bring soup to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and drop the meatballs carefully, one at a time, straight into the pot. The meatballs will cook in the broth.
Add the pasta to the soup and stir. Cover and simmer soup for 10 minutes or until the pasta is cooked.
Stir in chopped parsley (or spinach at this time if desired). When spinach has wilted into the soup, the soup is done and ready to serve. Adjust your seasonings to taste.
Hope I have helped =)
