Kids and Cooking
Even
when my kids were little, I tried to teach them how to cook. I didn't want them
leaving home, and living off the fast food joints for the rest of their
lives.
But I don't want them living off of Hamburger Helper either, (even though sometimes it can be a quick dish to cook up.) So I've included some easy teen recipes, especially when it comes to snacks, like the Refrigerator Biscuits page. They use to call them Bake and Eat Biscuit Tubes.
Anyway, nowadays, people think women are miracle workers when it comes to putting food on the table. How easy it is just to give my kids ten bucks to go down to the local pizza shop for supper, but then two hours later they're hungry again, and ready for that late night snack.
Kitchen Tip: For quick and handy
seasoning while cooking, keep on hand a large shaker containing six parts of salt
and one part of pepper. Also you can make your own seasoned salt.

How to
get your kids to eat their bread crust.
This is a trick that comes from
my mom. When your toddlers are eating everything but the crust, then this is what
my mom did.
She would take the long strips of crust, and holding it on the table, began to wrap it in a circle, till it looked just like a cinnamon roll. Then she added a dab of butter or jelly on it and handed it back to us to eat, which we did, every time.
Cooking Tips and Tricks
Included are
cooking tips and tricks to get you in and out of the kitchen in a hurry, but the
best tip is to "do the dishes while you're cooking." The first
thing you should do when you go in the kitchen is make a sink full of hot soapy
water, and as you use your cooking utensils, wash them.
I have created this Dinner Index page, so you will be able to easily navigate through the different recipes. You will find some traditional recipes, that are simple to make, and I have tried to add only recipes that have the fewest of ingredients.
