April 01, 2008  | Bring Fun to the Kitchen During April's Showers
Now that the weather is getting warmer, your kids are likely begging to spend the weekend outside. When those fabled April Showers keep them indoors, invite your children to help out in the kitchen with these fun, kid-friendly recipes from Mealtime.org. You and your family will get to spend some quality time together, and the best part is, you'll all get to enjoy the fruits of your labor! |
 |  | | Granola Bugs
Multi-grained and full of fruit, these buggy cookies are just right for a children's party at home or at school. Because they're no-bake, they take little time to prepare and even your little ones can safely participate in the fun! We've given you directions for simple, beetle-like bugs, but if you're feeling adventurous, try a licorice-legged centipede or create ladybugs decorated with raisins for polka dots.
 |  | | Tuna Mandarin Roll-ups
For a great hand-held meal to pack and carry (or enjoy at home), roll a savory tuna salad into a sturdy tortilla. Kids can help prepare this easy meal and even make a funny face with the ingredients and other tasty vegetables in the kitchen like red bell peppers and olives. With this twist on the traditional tuna sandwich, you have a delicious, fun way to follow healthy eating advice: eat fish twice a week!
| | Macaroni and Cheese Primavera
It's veggies galore with this updated comfort food and all-time kid favorite. Simply add canned beans, mushrooms and tomatoes (or any canned vegetables) to macaroni and cheese and you've got an easy way to enjoy a rainbow of nourishment.
