I hope you all had a fine Father's Day and wonderful weather for grilling. -------------------------------------------------- This week our friend and regular contributor to Chef2Chef.net, Cynthia Bowan will share some fun kids' recipes with us. Perfect timing as school is letting out around the country and the kids need something to do and you need something to do with them! So round up the kids this week and have some fun, or if the family next door has kids that you'd like to see go inside.share these recipes with them! There are also some fun things you can create in the kitchen that kids can play with! Wait til you see what Cynthia has in store for you! Here we go! -------------------------------------------------- Kid's Week Having raised five children, I know all too well the fun of lunch time, especially in the summer. I also understand boredom in youngsters! Young children especially love things with names that gross adults out, so I have assembled several recipes from friends and other sources, as well as my own, to help parents make it through at least a couple days of summer. As an example of my own experiences, here's a favorite family story: One long-ago, hot summer day, our No. 2 son Mark came to me and said, "Momma, I'm bored." I tried the latest parental approach and said, "Mark, intelligent people do not get bored." Mark looked me right back and said, sadly, "But Momma, I'm not intelligent, I'm Presbyterian!" We've teased him about that for years. Mark is now the father of three small boys and knows all too well that children CAN get bored. So this week of offers you parents out there something new (hopefully) to keep your children happy. CYH - consider yourself hugged! -------------------------------------------------- Chunky Cat Barf Serving Size: 6 1 large spaghetti squash 8 ounces cottage cheese 16 ounces grated Mozzarella cheese 8 ounces grated Parmesan 1 quart spaghetti sauce with peppers Cook squash. Fork out insides into a giant casserole dish. Add cottage cheese, half of the Mozzarella and Parmesan and sauce. Mix it until it looks like its name. Top with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. -------------------------------------------------- FUN STUFF Protoplasm 1/3 c. water 1/2 c. cornstarch green food coloring Place water and cornstarch in plastic bowl. Add food coloring until you get a super slimy icky color. Pick it up and watch it ooze through your fingers. When you push it in the bowl, it will seem solid. NOTE: This will clog your drains. Throw this in the trash when kids are through playing with it. -------------------------------------------------- How About Free Hot Sauce For A Year??
