1 medium carrot, shredded

When we are "old and creaky", or adoring the grandchildren, let us hope we have raised amongst us few "kids" that love "cooking"!

Maybe that'll "bridge" a few age issues, pass on some unwritten concepts, and derive into more "family nights"...(if not "knights")...we all, want "better"for the "kids", if not the grandchildren, don't we?

Better migt include the choice of "nursing home" we are deported to, the "disconnection "choice", etc...

LOL!

When I get there, kids, pull the plug, and collect the "insurance", and have a great life!...

What a wonderful, WONDERFUL thread, guys!!! There are some incredible ideas here sure to delight the wee ones!

MJ, those dogs are just too darned great! I'm going to have to make some of those for the hoard of young people around here this weekend -- that will likely inspire a few comments and giggles from even older kids!

Just plain great ideas, folks. Thank you!!!

I always feel kinda funny chiming in on this because I don't have kids. But I do know that kids love any "cook at the table" meal. Sukiyaki and fondue topped the list of favorite meals when sisters and I were children, and I've found that my kid guests still love them. They also get interested in cooking themselves, and both can be very nutritious. Sukiyaki in particular can get kids interested in how beautiful vegetables and meat look laid out on a platter, the raw ingredients look like a poster. Meat fondu can be done in stock rather than oil, and the stock used for a small cup of broth at the end of the meal.

My son (now 20) used to love to make his own pizzas.
I'd buy a pre-made dough and then let him decorate it.

We did this with our niece a few months ago and
she had a blast. Simple, easy and fun.

P.s. Paul makes the dough himself now. So, much better than
the other way.
