Cooking with Kids (Cookbook overview)
I perused the kids cookbook, flipping through the pages. Colorful pictures and lettering fill the pages. Pictures of children cooking and making the recipes are on almost every page. The picture of the food you are preparing is shown with most recipes.

The kids cookbook is the title; a gleeful young boy smiles on the front cover. On page 4, a rainbow catches my eye. â€œWhy is there a rainbow in a cookbook?â€ Rather than a food pyramid chart, it is a rainbow chart. Want to learn about table manners and table setting, see page 5.
The recipes are great, very kid friendly.
Mini-biscuit pizzas page 9 of kids cookbook
(prep time: 10 minutesâ€”cook time:12 minutesâ€”serves 6)
1 10 count can refrigerated biscuit dough
2/3 cup Pizza Sauce
2/3 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese (or cheese you like)
Pizza toppings of your choice (see page 10 for ideas)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray the cups of a regular size muffin tin with a non-stick spray.
Press one biscuit into each muffin tin cup.
Place a tablespoon of sauce on each biscuit. Place one or 2 toppings of your choice on the sauce, then top with 1 tablespoon of cheese.
Bake for 10 -12 minutes or until cooked and cheese is melted.

Meatball Sub Sandwiches
(prep time:10 minutesâ€”heat time: 5 minutesâ€”serves 6)
6 sub or hoagie buns
36 Italian Mozzarella Meatballs (Homemade Gourmet), prepared (see recipe page 12)
2 cups of Homestyle Spaghetti Sauce Mix (Homemade Gourmet) prepared
Optional:

Parmesan Cheese

Re-heat meatballs and spaghetti sauce in the microwave for 3 minutes on high.
Fill each bun with 6 warm meatballs and cover with spaghetti sauce.
Top with any other ingredients you want.
Optional to make a sub sandwich car: use pretzel sticks to add zucchini shaped wheels on the sides. Use a pretzel shaped pretzel to add a steering wheel in the front. Keep the hoagie bun together and cut a rectangular opening in the top of the bun. Place meatballs inside.
